Expiring Domain....

[Lee Black]

Hi,

I have my eye on a domain which from the "who-is" record states that the renewal date (17/11/10) has elapsed leaving a "Renewal required" status...

My question is; how long does it take for it to become available to be hand registered, as it is still showing as non-available?

Thanks

Lee

What will happen if my registrar does not renew my domain name?

If a renewal request is not received from your registrar, we will send you a renewal reminder by email. You will have 30 days to arrange for your registrar to renew the domain name. If we do not receive a renewal request for your domain name within 30 days of the expiry date, the domain name will be suspended. It will then be cancelled 60 days after suspension if we have still not recieved a renewal instruction for your domain name from your registrar.
