For Sale Domain Expired - Now Where Do I Buy It?

[dr00t]

I am chasing a domain that expired on 2008-03-26 according to WHOIS. However, the domain is still not available. I assume it's sitting somewhere in a drop catching service, like Snapnames... but I cannot find it.

Does a domain that expires from TUCOWS go somewhere other than Snapnames or Pool? Please advise.

According to DomainTools - The domain is current in redemption period. I am not clear on this, any straight answers about this and what I should do to aquire my name would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

If it's at Tucows, search here https://namebids.domainauctionservice.com . Tucows will not list any domain name that is very valuable, since they like to keep them for their portfolio :lol: but other then that, it should be listed at the link above.

I also recently wrote this post on my blog, which will be a good read for anybody that is interested to learn more about the drop process, partnered registrars/auction services etc.

Hope this helps

I have had the same experience....Tucows keeps most all of the good names. If you see a good one dropping from there, I would get a hold of the owner and try to negotiate...you will have a better chance of getting the name IMO.
