Hi,

For most registrars, it'll be 30-45 days - each having its own schedule. But if the name you want is with Verisign or Register.com, then cross your fingers or simply check back a year later.

Sorry, but the admin of the domain can trasfer it or register it again without wait 20-45 days or he have lost the domain?

thx

Almost ALL registrars will allow the registrant to RENEW the expired domain within the 45-day grace period (or 30-40 to be save). OpenSRS/Tucows even allows registrar transfer after expiry. Again, Verisign and Register.com do things VERY differently.

Stargate.com releases the domains on the day after expiration.

Best thing is to go to www.SnapNames.com and put a Snap on it around $70.

Also - please mention the registrar if you can, they all have different expireining periods.
