For Sale REGISTRAR-HOLD but not RENEWED?

[mmmhome]

how long will a domain be in the REGISTRAR-HOLD status, if the domain not be RENEWED?

 

[EM @MAJ.com]

HOLD is 45 days, then redemption 30 days, then deletion is 5 days.

Not so. There is nothing forcing the registrar to drop it. And if it goes beyond 45 days in registrar hold it's more than likely they won't drop it.

It'll be interesting to see what the registrars do with the new system but I suspect many will continue to warehouse names rather than release them to verisign to extort $$$$ from the clients.

I agree with you gordon regarding registrar holding off domain, especially if it is very marketable domains.

Hey btw, nice script you have for the whois.

gmartfin,

So what happens if they (the registration company) hold on to it? I assume they get charged $6.00 by Verisign right? If they do so, isn't it against ICANN policies to hold on (renew) a name that is not legitimately registered by a customer? I'm sure a lot of hanky panky goes on with the high profile names.

yeah well when you see:

a version of ICANN sporting some balls that will do away with all the verisign/nsi/snap names butt buddies acts....... and ......

actually writes an enforceable contract .........and.......

actually fosters and promotes competition..... and......

I know I know the cheques in the mail, the tooth fairy is alive.....
