Similar to my previous thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17848299, I'm looking at picking up a .com domain and again a little confused as to the dates...

whois.net gives me:

Domain Name: **********.COM
Registrar: NAMEKING.COM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.nameking.com
Referral URL: http://www.nameking.com
Name Server: NS1.DSREDIRECTION.COM
Name Server: NS2.DSREDIRECTION.COM
Status: redemptionPeriod
Updated Date: 02-mar-2009
Creation Date: 31-jan-2006
Expiration Date: 31-jan-2009

However, at the bottom of that page - and on the nameking.com whois it says:

********.COM NOT FOUND.

Any ideas? :)
 
It lapsed a month ago though? All this domain expiry stuff confuses me, why is the expiry date not the expiry date? :)

i'm by no means a professional with this so don't quote me on it but afaik when a domain expires the owner still has like say month to renew, after that a company will buy it and offer it back only to the original owner at a massive increase, say 500%, then if it isn't renewed eventually it gets set back into the wild for a split second until someone who was watching it buys it again.

It was owned by a domain grabber, they probably got no hits though...
 
Anyone here running scripts to catch .coms? :)

So when will it be released to the world again?

never, the second it does someone (millions of people) will be ready to snap it up (based on what i have read).

Therefore it does become available at a point, however briefly. I'm trying to establish when this is.

if you want that name you are going to have to pay for it unfortunately and i'm sure other peoples pockets will be deeper then yours.

If I can get in on the snatching action, then I can increase my chances of getting it, hence me asking if anyone was a registrar of .coms here.
