Default domain name purchase

Hi,

When a domain name has not been renewed by its owner how long before it becomes available for purchase again? Is there any way of reserving it?

Thanks
Steve

It really depends on the extension. There's a detailed blog post here about snatching domains:

For UK domains you could try www.detagged.co.uk but the effectiveness, and cost, of these services is really dependent of the value of the domain.

If it's a decent domain, then you have zilch chance of getting it. There are people who have invested £xxx,xxx in to building systems that get these within 1-2ms of them being available!

For .co.uk domains, Nominet advise that the renewal period from the date of expiry is 97 days. If they have not received a renewal request by the end of this period the registration will be cancelled and the domain name will be available to register on a first come, first served basis. Therefore, you can't reserve the domain name.

Its a .co.uk name and its not used, and the registration only just expired. So I'll have to wait and see.

Anyone here used detagged.co.uk with a successful outcome?

Thanks

I'd recommend caught.co.uk as well
