    domains are expired but not available for reg, why?

    I have a list with tons of domains that have expired in Dec '04, when I check them with any registrar it is still not available for registration while the expiration date has already been passed for a while.

    Why is this and how can I figure out when they will ACTUALLY be available for registration?

    so domains from 17nov expire 30jan, that's 74 days... what's the logic behind it?

    So domains that expire 17dec will be deleted 30feb ?

    Re: domains are expired but not available for reg, why?

    many registrars charge a chunk of change for the most recent owner of a domain to renew an expired name ... it's to their benefit to hold it a couple of months during a "grace period" and give the original owners time to cough up the big bucks before putting it back out there in the wild...

    I think also that ICANN has a mandatory grace period of 30 days...

    The actual drop date depends upon the registrar and what they use for a grace period.

    With all of my experiences it's always been a 90 day grace period. However, some companies may differ.

    Sometimes, registrars will "hold" a domain in the mysterious "registrar hold" for as long a year. I have never been able to figure this out, but it's their game.
