Question,
I have been waiting for an expired domain to become available so I can grab it. It was registered at Network Solutions. How long do they sit on them before releasing them to the public. The guy hasn't paid yet.

Anyone with answers/experience?

Thanks
AH

Usually youll have to wait 3 months, but that could differ based on about a 1000 different reasons, basically plan on being patient

NSI used to give a 45 day grace period for the owner, not sure this is still in place. So, take 45 days from expiration and then from there factor in the possibility of a 2-5 month wait for it to drop :eek:

It's one cold bowl of chili waiting for a domain to drop.
