Expired domain names?

expired domain names
Reed asked:

Say a domain name expires Dec. 30.
Can I grab it after then or do I need permissions from the host/site that bought it?

What if I don’t use those services that cost money to grab them?
Can I just wait for the opportunity and go?

    You can attempt to register the domain after it expires. It is important to understand that the current owner is entitled to a redemption period in which they can renew their domain even after it has expired. It is always worth a shot if there is a domain you really really want, but it often does not work out so don’t get your hopes up. If you need help with domain name registration contact me.

    Yes you can.

    Don’t trust any cheap service, many of them don’t allow you to have full control on your domain name. If you’re going to buy domain names, refer to:

    GoldPuma is the lowest cost service which is full-featured and really works for you ($9.99 /year). They offer free extras with every domain name:

    Quick Blogcast
    Hosting with Web site builder
    Personalized Email Account
    Starter Web Page For Sale/ Parked Page

    Domain Forwarding
    Domain Masking
    100-Pack Email Forwarding
    Total DNS Control
    Change of Registration
    Status Alerts

    …

    Good Luck!
