Say I type in the browser address bar www.something.com and Bing or whatever search engine claims it doesn’t exist and offers alternative results. So I figure the domain’s never been registered or at least expired.

I was frustrated today when I tried to register such a site domain with Go Daddy and it says site invalid and offers site names I’m not interested in. How does this work? Do hosts like Go Daddy just resell old domains so I go elsewhere to start a never before used domain? I’m so confused. This is all new to me. Any help welcome.

So there’s a domain name I want. It expired on Jan 19, 2010 – however I still can’t buy it. I found out that I have to wait some more time. But I want to know exactly when it will be available for purchase.

Ok, so I really want this one domain name, lets say www.mydomainname.com (that’s not it), and when I go to see if I can buy it on Go Daddy, it says it’s not availible, but it gives me the option to “backorder”.

I then looked on Who Is and it says the domain expires 2011-01-09. Is that in January or September of 2011?

So, what does does backorder mean and should I do it?
Oh, and it’s a .com domain if that matters.

Hello, I have a bunch of names reserved on Name.com for a future project. I don’t have a website linked to them yet and may not for a year or more.

They are due to expire today and tomorrow. Name.com wants 9.99 each to renew and 1.99 to keep my info private.

Do I have any other options.

Thanks.

I really don’t understand how it works yet. Can I easily change companies.

Uncle Pennybags asked:


Curiously enough, a domain name I used to own, but let lapse accidentally, was purchased by someone else. They have now let it lapse on 11/29/10. Go Daddy is the registrar, and they say it’s pending renewal or deletion.

How long do I have to wait until I can buy this domain name back? What’s the grace period for renewal?
