EXPIRING DOMAIN NAMES

EXPIRING DOMAIN NAMES Often we find other people have already registered the majority of good domain names. Another source for acquiring domain name is the expiry process. This is where previous owners fail to renew their domain names and they become available for registration again. The process varies slightly by registrar but it generally goes hold (a hold on the domain for up to 45 days), then redemption grace period (30 days) and then finally pending delete (5 – 6 days depending on extension) after which the domain officially gets deleted from the registry. This was the standard process for the .com/.net/.org extensions. Other extensions generally are similar but each has its own intricacies and should be researched by any one truly interested in pursuing them. Recently, domain registrars have decided to capitalize on this market and take the domain names of clients after they have expired and auction them off to the highest bidder. While not all registrars do this, a good many do and it can be a good source for acquiring new domain names.

The full legal and ethical implications of doing such things aren’t yet clear but it has become common practice in the industry. Domain Names for Dummies The expiring (deleted) and pre-expiration (registrars selling client names before deleting them) markets have combined and often you can search for both types of names from the same websites. SnapNames (http://www.snapnames.com) is one of the largest intermediaries in the expiring domain name market and many of the best domains can be found there. Others companies worth noting are pool (http://www.pool.com) and TDNAM (Part of GoDaddy – http://www/tdnam.com).

While the market is constantly changing, the easiest way to keep track of it all is through active participation in domain name related forums. What you also need is to acquire expired domain software which informs you about a domain that is expiring and you can purchase it. The Domain Theory: Patterns for Knowledge and Software Reuse
