    Hello,

    Theres a domain which i'm interested in and it expires tomorrow. How do I verify what time the domain will expire at so I can register it? Anyone have any tips on how to get it before these domain catchers grab it?

    Thanks

    After the domain expire it will not drop yet.
    It will go through some cycle that take at least 80-90 day before you can reregister

    Thanks. Is there a way to determine what day and time it will be dropped and be capable of registration? Can the old owner renew in that 80-90 day period? Thanks

    Yes, the current owner can still renew the domain during this grace period time. You can signup for a domain monitoring package with GoDaddy or DomainTools to receive alerts on status changes for the domain. You could also place a backorder at GoDaddy for around $10 which includes the registration cost for the domain, otherwise if it's likely to attract interest from others you'd be best off backordering at SnapNames/NameJet.
