Expired domain name – has it been bought?

expired domain names
Crimson asked:

Been waiting for a domain name to become available. On checking, it normally states the registrar on the registrar database. Now it says there are no matches but the domain name is still unavailable. It now has an option to check the Underlying Registry Data which states it has been registered until next year. The registrar is the domain name company (GoDaddy). Have I missed out? Thanks

    Yes, someone may have put in a bid to buy it once the expiry date is reached. So soon as it becomes available they get an alert and can buy it, but it’s only a year so maybe they’re just holding it, (parking) hoping to sell it on in the future for a profit, so it may be worth enquiring at GoDaddy about buying it.

    No it just meant that it has expired and still not reg.

    Godaddy temporary renew it’s expired domains for 1 extra year and sell them on their expired auction site tdnam.com , pay that site a vist maybe you will find that name there.
