There is a domain name that is expiring in a few days that I want. If the current owner does not renew it by the expire date does it become instantly available or is there a grace period? (It is registered through godaddy) Also... Has anyone ever used the back order option for $18.99 and had it grab the name the instant it does become available? One other question... If you have your domain name set to auto renew, does it do it on the day of expiry? Thanks
There's a 30 day grace period where you can renew at no added cost, then there's a 45 day redemption period where it costs about $100 to renew at that point and then there's a 5 day delete time and the domain gets released, the times vary a bit sometimes
yes there is grace period of 30 days and i had tried to get one domain but its tricky you got to continuously keep an eye and instead if the domain owner is intrested in disowning try and crack a deal with him...
