Pending Delete is the term entered into a domains whois
status record field

This indicates the Registrar has requested the name be
deleted.

Once the registrar requests a name be deleted the name
enters the Redemption Grace Period (RGP) for 30 days during
which time the original registrant may request the name be
restored. (the Registrar can charge whatever fee they wish
to do this)

If the original registrant requests the registrar to restore
the name the registrar must complete the request to the
registry within 5 days. Failure to do so and the name will
re-enter the RGP subject to a new 30 day period.

If a request to restore the name is not made within the 30
days RGP the name then enters a Redemption Hold Period (RHP)
that last for 5 days. During the RHP the name is 'locked'
and cannot be re-registered or restored.

At the end of the 5 days RHP the name is released for
registration on a first come first served basis ( as a new
name)

What this means given your status is you can request your
registrar to restore the name (for whatever fee they wish to
charge) before the 30 day RGP or you can wait for the 30 + 5
days to pass and then try and be the first to register it as
a new name.

Basically

about 30 days -> 30 days -> 5 days
Expired RGP Deletion
(pending delete)



There's more phases after that :

Snap Sites poll the registry -> name goes to auction -> huge money is paid ->

wife finds out -> guy tries to sell name -> sells for $100 -> website developed!

Thanks for all responses. Anyhow I lost the my domain(:

It was updated to be on PENDING DELETE on 25th April.
I watched on midnight of 30th April and also 1st of May, still it was
in PENDING DELETE.

I see on 2nd of May, my domain is already taken by
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.domaincontender.com/" target="_blank">http://www.domaincontender.com/</a>

I do not understand this 5 day logic, its unbelievable that in this
internet transaction age things are still undefined. This helps
crooks!!

Thanks
Ramesh

Well, Rats!

I was kind of hoping that a domain might be available for purchase the day,
or the day after, it expires. I'm trying to help someone regain the domain
she paid for but is being held ransom by the webmaster who remains
unconcerned for her web site.

It expires this Saturday, maybe I'll keep checking anyway just to make sure
that if it does become available, I have a chance to get it for her. I'll
just give it to her for the cost of the domain, she's been through enough
already by an unscrupulous webmaster.

In a new, related thread I'll ask advice about real estate software.

my mistake, pending delete must be the status for the final 5 days,
PLUS a couple days for the whois to update!

So DomainContender sounds like a private business with their own snap software
running. If its a good name it will be registered 1/10 second after its available.

Your only option would have been to use a snap service.

I had the same problem I found CDBar.com and CVSearch.com as deleted domains,
quite good finds really! So I paid for the snaps and another company won each
of them after 2 months wait, they were called similar names to DomainContender,
(if you look them up) both people running their own snap software.

What kind of name you looking for, real gems go for $200 in all kinds of categories
every day.
