    Hello,
    After you have won it, in Godaddy you need to wait for around 20 days :) Best regards....

    Yes, yes, won, if expire 7th June and you win it in the marketplace of Godaddy, or you "buy it now", you need to wait for about 20 days to have the domain name with full rights.....

    does the domain expire on the 7th, or does it drop on the 7th? if the domain expires on the 7th, according to whois, then there will be a delay between expiry and when you can register it.

    the best thing to do is to check the registrar of the domain, and then find out how that registrar handles their expired domains. some registrars pre-release them (sell them to the highest bidder through an open-auction), while others follow the standard domain name deletion process.

    No, it won't become available after expiring, the owner still has a change to re-register it. It goes through a few different stages like pending delete, etc. Depending on what extention it is, depending on how many days after the domain has expired that it becomes available

    depends on who the registrar is:

    I don't think godaddy backorder really does anything, I've heard the name still goes to auction on tdnam, all your backorder does is start the bidding.
