How long after a domain expires am I able to re-register it?

The domain in question expired on March 12, 2003 and I would like to re-register it.

THanks.

Hi,
sometimes it depends on which registrar you use.
I have noticed some registrar deleted or update the domain to REDEMPTIONPERIOD as soon as it expired.
Some holds it for another few days to weeks before sending it to REDEMPTIONPERIOD... maybe it's their policy or different registrar do things their own ways.
But the funny thing is i have noticed the same registrar sent expired domains to REDEMPTIONPERIOD the day after it expired while some domains waited for another few weeks before sending to REDEMPTIONPERIOD.
hmmm... i don't quite understand too... :)

..but mostly it's approximately after 30 - 45 days of the expired date. You should check out the domain.

but to save time & if you want the domains so badly... order a snapback as backup if anything happened.

Hope this would help.
Cheers!

if it is a domain name registered trough Netsol it could be anything from 1 day to few months...
