I am following two domain names that are currently in the redemption period that I want to acquire: WHOIS info. as follows:
Domain #1:
Domain Name: ****************
Registrar: MELBOURNE IT, LTD. D/B/A INTERNET NAMES WORLDWIDE
Whois Server: whois.melbourneit.com
Referral URL: [melbourneit.com...]
Name Server: ADENINE.MELBOURNEIT.COM.AU
Name Server: ENTERPRISE.MELBOURNEIT.COM.AU
Status: REDEMPTIONPERIOD
Updated Date: 18-mar-2004
Creation Date: 15-jun-2003
Expiration Date: 15-jun-2004
(Went into redemption on March 18 - correct?)
Domain #2:
Domain Name: *****************
Registrar: REGISTER.COM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.register.com
Referral URL: [register.com...]
Name Server: DNS01.ENSYNCH.COM
Name Server: DNS02.ENSYNCH.COM
Status: REDEMPTIONPERIOD
Updated Date: 05-apr-2004
Creation Date: 13-oct-1999
Expiration Date: 13-oct-2004
(Went into redmption on April 5 - correct?)
Although the respective expiration dates are June 15 and Oct. 13, 2004, will these names nevertheless be dropped for re-registration after the 35 day redemption / pending delete period (assuming they are not restored by the original owner)?
I am just now learning and educating myself as to how this process works, and the longer-range expiration dates have me puzzled. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
