Domain Catching

[Puzzled]

Hi

I own a .com domain and I noticed the other day that the .co.uk hasn't been renewed by its current owner.

It only expired 2 weeks ago so i know they still have time to renew it, but if they don't does anyone know how long it would take for it to become available again?

I've also heard of domain catching services but as my current domain is available in everything apart from .com (which i own) and .co.uk I doubt its going to be taken by someone else, unless these companies snatch up a lot of expiring domains hoping to cash in.

Do I have a chance with just waiting for it to become available, or is the expense of these domain catching services the way to go?

Thanks for any help

I guess this is an unpopular subject.

I should add that the .co.uk version of my .com domain has never been used, and is just a holding page for the domain company.

I'll just keep an eye on it and hopefully buy it when it becomes available.

After the domain expires I think its either 90 or 92 days before it gets deleted and available to register again.
