Domain Question

I have a domain that expired early December and I never renewed it. I tried to renewing it or re-registering it again, but can't. The only option I get it to back-order it, but when I do a WHOIS on the domain it says that it can not be found in registrar database.

What's going on?

 

Some registrar have an agreement with backorder sites like SNAPNAMES/POOL , i think if you search your domain in google you can find which back order site is selling it!

 

You will have to use the various back order sites and bid on all of them. There is no guarantee that a single back order site will get it when the site drops.

 

godaddy whois doesn't always work, use domaintools.com to look it up

 

I think you should contact your registrar right away, depending on the registrar normally there is a grace period during which your domain name may be restored.

 

you should try a third party Whois provider like domaintools or who.is..

 

I've done all of that.

Still comes up blank. Even when I type in the name on an address it isn't even being parked anywhere.

Kind of weird.
