Expired Domain Names

domain-name.jpgDomain names serve as a unique Internet identity as well as a companies online brand. Customers will remember and use a web address to find your Web site, your products or 
your services.

Domain Names are granted for a limited period of time, subject to the appropriate registration or renewal fees being paid. Once the owner of a domain name declines to pay the renewal fee to maintain their registration, that domain name will expire, and eventually be deleted and returned to the “pool” of unregistered names.

A domain name that is approaching its renewal date is said to be “expiring soon” and a domain name that has passed its renewal date (also known as its “expiry date”) without the renewal fee being paid is said to have “expired”.

When a domain is not renewed by the current owner it expires and is eventually made available to the public. Many great domains become available which are very hard to register because of automated systems and crooked registrars which understand the timing and procedure to quickly register expired domains using high speed dedicated registrar connections. 

Domain names become available after a “grace” period which the current registrant can still renew. Grace periods vary by registrar and usually lasts from 30 to 45 days. It can be more or less depending on circumstances. The record reflects the status ON-HOLD during the grace period. 
 
After the grace period, a domain enters another 30 day period called the REDEMPTIONPERIOD. If the current registrant does not have the domain name restored and renewed by the end of this period the registry places the registration in DELETING status, and approximately five days later the domain name will become available.

Domain names can be registered for a fixed period of only 1 year although most registrars now offer the option of registering a domain name for a period of 1-10 years, often with substantial discounts for extended registrations

Expired domains solicit a lot of interest since essentially they form a new supply of domain names returning to the market, sometimes for the first time in many years…

Finding Expired Domain Names

expired.gifExpired domain names are names that were previously registered, but where the registration has not been renewed, or where the registrant has defaulted on payment. These unclaimed domain names are then repossessed and are made available for anyone to register again. These lists show thousands of .COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, and .INFO domain names registered that are pending renewal or deletion.
