I'm trying to buy a domain that someone apparently parked thru GoDaddy. This is what the whois info (from GoDaddy's own registry site) currently reads:
Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
Referral URL: http://registrar.godaddy.com
Name Server: NS57.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Name Server: NS58.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Status: redemptionPeriod
Updated Date: 28-jan-2010
Creation Date: 17-dec-2007
Expiration Date: 17-dec-2009
>>> Last update of whois database: Sat, 06 Feb 2010 20:49:41 UTC <<<
As you can see, the domain expired on Dec 17, 2009, and has status "redemption period". According to the GoDaddy knowledge base, redemption period means:
REDEMPTIONPERIOD: The domain expired, and the registry is waiting for 30 days as a precautionary measure before releasing it.
On another knowledge base page, it says:
On your domain registration's expiration date, we attempt to renew the domain. If we cannot renew the domain (for example, if the card on file expired), we notify you of your domain registration's expiration and park your domain. You can manually renew your domain.
On the 5th day following your domain registration's expiration date, we attempt to renew the domain. If we still cannot renew the domain, we send a second notification of your domain registration's expiration. You can manually renew your domain.
On the 12th day following your domain registration's expiration date, we attempt to renew the domain. If we still cannot renew the domain, we send a third and final notification of your domain registration's expiration, and we place the domain on hold. You can manually renew your domain.
On the 19th day following your domain registration's expiration date, your domain remains on hold but becomes subject to a redemption fee. You can call customer support to renew your domain, subject to any applicable renewal and redemption fees.
On the 25th day following your domain registration's expiration date, domains are placed for auction with a domain industry auction service. You can manually renew your domain, subject to any applicable renewal and redemption fees.
On the 42nd day following your domain registration's expiration date, we cancel your domain. All services associated with the domain are removed.
If it expired on December 17, 2009, 42 days later would be 1/28/2010 and 75 days later would be 3/2/2010. I want to find when it will be deleted so I can register the domain name regularly thru 1&1. When will this happen?
