Here is what whois says. Name Server: DNS1.EXPIREFLY.COM Name Server: DNS2.EXPIREFLY.COM Status: redemptionPeriod Updated Date: 27-apr-2007 Creation Date: 14-mar-2006 Expiration Date: 14-mar-2007 Does anyone know when the domain will be available? It's not a popular domain and nobody will want it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
when the domain will be available ? for what ? Registration ??? I think from the day it expires isn't it ?? or if you the Owner Doesn't renew it for long ...
The domain was registered with registerfly and expired. The expiration protection keeps people from unwantedly registering your domain. registerfly still keeps it in it's database for a few weeks after it expires.
If the domain name's status indeed says Redemption Period, it'll stay that way for 30 days from the last updated date. Count 30 days from April 27. After Redemption, it changes to Pending Delete for 5 days. Then the Registry will release it on roughly the 6th day at 2PM EST. Unfortunately the chances of manually re-registering a domain name are slim to none. Better backorder it if you can afford it and if that domain name does mean a lot to you. On the side, ICANN has supposedly told the Registries to indefinitely lock any and all Registerfly-sponsored domain names pending resolution of their fiasco. It appears this one was overlooked.
