For Sale .org/.biz/.info deletion process

How does it differ from .com & .net ?

I know they all appear to stay in PD for 35 days but do they have RP, HOLD etc? Or do they just go to PD from being active?

Thanks!

PD? I guess you mean RGP (Redemption Grace Period), right? The answers are all in the FAQs of respective registries:

.biz

What is PendingDelete Status

All domains that are deleted are initially placed on PendingDelete status before being purged from the Registry database and made available for registration. The exception to this rule are domains that are deleted with the first 5 days of the initial registration. These domains will not be placed on PendingDelete and will be purged immediately. Domains will remain on PendingDelete status for a period of 35 days before being purged, unless they are "redeemed" by the registrar. This period is known as the Redemption Grace Period (RGP). See below for more information on RGP and domain redemptions.

What is the Redemption Grace Period (RGP)

The Redemption Grace Period is the 35 days following the deletion of a domain. The purpose of RGP is to allow registrars and/or registrants to correct for inadvertent deletions. During the first 30 days of the Redemption Grace Period, registrars may request the Registry to redeem the deleted domain, and thus restore it to it's original disposition prior to deletion. Redemptions may NOT be performed during the final 5 days of the RGP. The whois record will indicate if the domain is eligible for redemption. Domain that are eligible will be marked "PendingDelete (restorable)". Ineligible domains will have the status "PendingDelete (scheduled for release)". All redemption requests must be submitted through your registrar.

http://www.pir.org/faqs/rgp or http://www.afilias.info/faqs/rgp both using the same FAQ.

EDIT: Oh ... they use the term "Pending Delete - Restorable" for RGP, which is not to be confused with the 5-day "Pending Delete - Scheduled for Release".

Pool seems to be getting the .BIZ drop dates all mixed up :-(

PD ='s Pending Delete

So there are different stages of PD?

For .BIZ, there are 2 stages:-

1. Pending Delete (restorable)

2. Pending Delete (scheduled for release)

The first is about 30 days long, followed by the second which is about 5 days long.

OK... so "Pending Delete - Restorable" is just like Redemption for .com & .net names?

I gather they have no HOLD period & go straight into "Pending Delete - Restorable" ?

 

[.com.net.org]

Yes

 

[cyphix]

So what exactly happens if I wanna renew a name that is in "Pending Delete - Restorable" ?

Can you easily renew it like a .com or .net that is on HOLD or do you have to pay a huge amount like you would a .com or .net in RGP?
