I've never purchased a domain so bare with me as I'm a bit of a n00b in this area. Basically I've found a domain I want, currently it is just a holding page and checking back it seems it has always been just a holding page - according to whois it is due to expire tomorrow and I'd quite like to grab it - I actually do have a use for it unlike (it seems) the current owners. It is a .com domain

What is the best way of getting it? I guess I'm making a few assumptions here - if whois says its expiring tomorrow does that mean the new owner hasn't renewed it or might he have already renewed with the registrar? Also if it expires tomorrow at what point can I grab it?
 
cheers for the reply, does that 80 days reply to all registrars?

Also what is the best way of grabbing it if he doesn't renew - do I just wait 80 days from now and try registering it or should I try one of the services out there for grabbing expired domains?
