If you cancel a .co.uk, how long till it is released ?

peacock · 02-02-2011, 12:46:59 PM

Hi,

Just cancelled a .co.uk at nominet

It said the name was now "scheduled for deletion"

Wondering if anyone knows how long it takes / what time of day these are released ?

Thanks,

Rob

anytime before midnight the same day

Thanks.

I will keep checking then.

Do you know if there are people watching this with a view to picking them up... like the drop-catching ?

Highly unlikely, there's no way of knowing that you've cancelled it. Unless someones got it booked at a dropcatcher somewhere by chance.

Great,
Thanks.

Don't think it has broad / domainer appeal anyway.

I'm unsure if cancelled domains show as suspended before they drop. If they do, now that you've announced it on here, someone could PRSS you and find the domain that's suspended before it's renewal date and go for it.

If you have cancelled it by mistake, ring Nominet and ask them to reinstate it.

from http://www.nominet.org.uk/registrant...ellations/faq/ :

Will the domain name be cancelled immediately?

The domain name will be scheduled for cancellation, and removed from the register at any point within a 24-hour period. Once the domain name is cancelled it will be available to register on a first come, first served basis

Thanks All.

Got it now.....
It was about four hours timelag in this case.

Could someone possibly explain how to delete a domain?

I can delete a new registration, and one I registered, but when I try and delete one which was regged say at domain monster but now on my tag, it refuses it?

I marked it with no longer required but it looks like it will stay that way till expiry.
