question How long do domains stay in "Redemption" ?

[sixtoronto]

There is a domain i'm watching
it expired on December 1, 2016

Currently it is in Redemption, and the 'last updated' date on whois.com reads January 6, 2017
When / how can I acquire this domain without contacting the owner? It looks like he is going to let this one drop.
WhoIs does not list a Registrar

Under normal circumstances is 60 days.If it is NGTLD time is not necessarily true

Thanks. Do you guys usually contact a previous owner during this period or just let it drop?

 

[JONAH LEUNG]

If the domain is the domain name to creative, so can wait.Avoid contact with the owner of the before, which can make each other feel domain high, he may redeem to spend big price.So you and the other cost will be increased.

Every registrar has a slightly different time frame from when you fail to renew a domain till it is permanently deleted from your account.

They also have different times for grace periods as well.

Check the terms of service where the domain is/was registered to find their time frames and figure it out from there.

thanks for the info. These redemption periods are too long IMO

After a domain expires, it goes into Auto-Renew Grace Period (0-45 days), then in Redemption Grace Period (30 days), then it's going to be in Pending Delete (5 days) and then it goes back to General Availability.

Technically, as soon as it gets back to GA, you can take it. That's what some people do. However, there are people who keep an eye on their domains or get notified by the registrar in time, so they register it for another year.

RGP is 30 days.
And current registrant has an option to restore the domain for penalty fee (up to $1xx).
