Re: [wdvltalk] Registering an existing domain
Can't remember the exact terminology as I'm up to my neck in XML and really crappy parsers but I think after a domain lapses there is a certain period (detagged I think) where the domain is shut off from the net but is still tied to its existing owner allowing them to renew (just in case they forgot or something). I think this state lasts for a few months. If the domain is not re-registered by the end of this limbo state then it comes open for purchase. Only at that stage will your client be able to grab it.

Ross, Can't remember the exact terminology as I'm up to my neck in XML and really crappy parsers but I think after a domain lapses there is a certain period (detagged I think) where the domain is shut off from the net but is still tied to its existing owner Just what I'm after, found the gory details here: http://www.nic.uk/registrants/detagged/ That page basically says you're going to have to wait a loong time. If the domain is not re-registered by the end of this limbo state then it comes open for purchase. Only at that stage will your client be able to grab it. That's about the size of it. Thanks for the info.

RE: [wdvltalk] Registering an existing domain
Peter, I think if you look at the Nominet Site, buried in there is a note that you can record an interest in a name that lapses with a view to doing what you want. Couldn't find it with a cursory hunt, but I've emailed Nominet anyway to ask them what the best approach is. Will report back if they give me any details on this, Cheers Jon The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: unknown lmsubst tag argument: '' To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

RE: [wdvltalk] Registering an existing domain
-Original Message- From: Ross Clutterbuck If the domain is not re-registered by the end of this limbo state then it comes open for purchase. Only at that stage will your client be able to grab it. There was an article on Sitepoint I recently read about expired domain names. I forgot to renew my domain on the first of January this year, and a couple weeks later was able to renew it. I assume, due to the grace period. This is a little outdated but may give you some insight. http://www.sitepoint.com/article/period-farce-exposed Thanks, Perry Gerenday www.webinitiative.net The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
