Can some one help me out with situation i dont understand

Luckyg · 17-10-2006, 10:21:28 AM

I looked up a whois yesterday on a site im after. the information said:

Relevant dates:
Registered on: 16-Oct-1998
Renewal date: 16-Oct-2006
Last updated: 02-Oct-2006

Registration status:
Renewal required.
*** This registration has been SUSPENDED. ***

So i was dyign to find out how i could register the name seeign as it was suspended but i couldnt figure out how as all the registration companies were saying it was taken.

Today the whois is saying this:

Relevant dates:
Registered on: 17-Oct-2006
Renewal date: 17-Oct-2008

Registration status:
Registration request being processed.

The registrants details are totally different so it is a new registrant for this domain.

My questions are this:

How could I have registered it when it said suspended?

many thanks in advance

Read this site and you will find all the answers.

The site was released yesterday by Nominet back to the free market for someone to register. People have automated systems that will register the domain seconds (maybe less) after it is released.

Its called "drop-catching"...read on.

It has now been registered by someone.

If you want to "catch" a domain before someone else does then you need to do it in less than 20 milliseconds from it being released. (if it's a good domain).

The current owner may sell it to you if you ask nicely with cheque book in hand.

Ahh, I see

Not a very fair system then!

I have been reading this site for a while now, before the .eu registration period. Great forum.

Im so gutted. I was so excited yesterday when I found the name had been suspended. I have been after it for a long time.

I have sent a request to the registration agent to ask the person who registered if he wants to sell it.

How can i determine what is a fair price for a domain?

You may as well tell us what it is now that it's been registered and we'll be able to give you an idea of value?

if it is a business intending on using it then fair play to them for getting it.

if its a speculator then at least i have a hope of getting it if its within my budget

Whatcha reckon on a valuation?

Looking at the dates you posted this is a strange one as it seems to have dropped one day after the renewal date, im guessing it was previously owned by a liquidated company and someone got lucky?

yeah i noticed that

when you say they got lucky.............what do you mean? they would hav ebeen watching it for a while, right?

grantw · 17-10-2006, 10:45:59 AM

It was caught by BB-online who catch domains for the public (via snapnames I think), so the bad news is that someone booked this with them, probably because they want to use it. I don't know the new registrant.

I mean that they got lucky because it didnt follow the normal cycle when a domain drops. Liquidated domains are dropped at random.
