The owner of the domain still has a few days to renew it. This period has a variable duration depending on the extension and the registrar, in any case the typical duration is 12 days for .it , from 25 to 45 days for .com , 30 days for English .uk. In this period the registrar, while waiting for news from the owner, usually deactivates the existing site and replaces it with a courtesy page, which in most cases contains advertising links. For .com and .net domains, some registrars reserve the right to resell the domain during the last days of this period, so it is best to pay attention to the conditions of the contract and not to let it expire, because otherwise getting it back will be almost impossible.4. Redemption Period : if the owner still wishes not to renew the domain, the registrar returns the domain to the registry . The domain becomes unreachable (it no longer even shows the courtesy page displayed until a few hours before), any email addresses associated with the domain also stop working, and it enters a period of variable duration (typically around 30 days for most part of the extensions) during which it can only be recovered by the owner himself, using the same registrar with which he registered it.
Recovery usually has costs that are much higher than the Business Owner Phone Numbers List annual fee (for example for .com and .net domains this recovery usually costs more than 100 dollars), while for others (for example .it) the cost is the same as of simple renewal.5. Pending Delete : at this point the domain, if it has not been recovered in the meantime, enters the period preceding its cancellation . At this stage no one can renew or recover the domain, which will soon be free for registration. Typically the duration of this period is 5 days , but each extension has a different behavior for the release. Among the most important:.com and .net from 6pm to 8pm.org from 2.30pm to 3pm.info from 10:00 to 10:30.biz from 5pm to 5.30pm.eu remain active until the end of the month in which the expiration date falls, they all enter redemption together on the first day of the following month, and are released all together 40 days later..it until some time ago, to prevent backorders, was released at a random minute during the 5 days, but now it happens at 09:00 and 16:00(The times are all UTC, so to obtain Italian time you normally need to add one or two hours depending on whether it is summer time or not).For more information: ICANNHow to buy an expiring domain?Once this has been established, it appears clear that to grab an expiring domain it is necessary to wait until it reaches the last phase of its life cycle.But how do you know when a site is about to expire?
And how can you be sure of getting it given the imaginable competition (to which add the companies that actually do it professionally)?Before going into the details of the operation, it is necessary to reflect on the domain extensions ..it : as we have said, the Nic releases Italian domains at two very specific moments during the day, consequently the competition to obtain the desired domain is very high , and equally high is the competence, or luck, that one must have to catch the exact thousandth of a second in which the domain is released and leapfrog your competitors..com, .net, .org : in this case however, given the random release during a specific time, different, as we have said, for each of the extensions, the recovery operation would seem simpler. In reality we must consider that to take an expiring international domain we are not only competing with Italian domainers, but with all those in the world. Suffice it to say that there are over 100 million .com domains in the world, and for .net there are around 15 million registrations.
