Domain Name Is Expired But Not Available. Add a verb to your domain name. After ending the contract with the domain registrant they will terminate the domain registration.
Add a verb to your domain name. You can check for problems with your domain by checking its status. A domain name that reaches expired status and is not renewed by the owner will be listed at an auction service see FAQ for exception to this rule.
If the domain does not get purchased even after a backorder auction or closeout it is then entered back into the registry where anyone will be able to purchase it just like any other available domain name.
After ending the contract with the domain registrant they will terminate the domain registration. They can be renewed if necessary while they are still active or reactivated after their expiration date. The domain name does not immediately go into auction but is immediately listed on the partnered auction service with an auction scheduled for the near future. For these domains there is no grace period.
