Shouldn't this domain be dropped??

[puca]

Hello
I'm confused. A domain i want updated to 'pending delete' on 8 mar.
I thought after 6 days it was dropped, but today it is still not available for registration..

Can anyone explain this?

whois info:
Domain Name: ***.COM
Registrar: ENOM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.enom.com
Referral URL: http://www.enom.com
Status: PENDINGDELETE
Updated Date: 08-mar-2004
Creation Date: 26-dec-2001
Expiration Date: 26-dec-2003
>>> Last update of whois database: Sun, 14 Mar 2004 19:18:53 EST

The domain should have dropped on Mar 14. If it is not available, somebody have already picked it up. However, the com/net whois database updates only twice a day, wait for some time and check again.

Do you happen to know what time they do update?

Are domains dropped at hese times to, or is the droptime different for every domain?

Hi
i have just came accros the hours you said, although on one site, domainguru.com,
they say

At precisely 6.30 AM (EST) or up to 15 minutes thereafter on the 6th day after the name becomes soon to drop, the name is made available for anyone to register again i.e. it is dropped.

is this wrong information?

If "anyone" wanted the domain that you're going after, you would not see it come available. The registration happens just to fast. This is why people backorder them........
