Hey everyone, I have been eyeing on a domain name(someone else's). It was going to expire on 19th October, which it did.
I know the domain is not updated, it is expired.
The problem here is that the domain is still with Godaddy.
When will the domain be available again to register? How many days do GoDaddy take to release an expired domain?

Thanks

Unfortunately, G0daddy does not play by the rules, at any level.

Case in point, if you have ever bid on a G0daddy auction, and there are 2+ bidders, they will extend the auction past the original deadline, what other auction do you know that operates in that (shifty) manner?

In terms of expired domains with G0daddy, it is tricky, and could go a number of ways depending on the domain.

But rest assured, they RARELY if ever place an expired domain back into the pool.

Typically, they will put the domain in their auction bin, and attempt to get a big pay day.

If there are no takers, oftentimes, G0daddy may hold on to it for a few months to six months.

The point being, they do not play by ICANN Expired Deletion Policy

Code:

If the domain name is of value 'TO YOU" monitor it DAILY, and pounce on it when it becomes available.

Hope that helps.

different TLDs have various so called "grace" periods, in which the owner can renew the domain and not lose it. Usually is around 30-45 days. So if the domain is expired, you have to wait a month, month in a half before becoming available for registration. Note that this is the period where domains are sold at the auctions, so if the domain you are eyeing have SEO value, or the name is good for some reason, its very likely someone to get it at the auctions.

yeah none of this is true. I am in the domaining and have NEVER saw an extension of the auction for expiring domains past the 5 minutes after the last bid, and I have participating in thousands of auctions. However if is private sale, the owner of the domain may do all kind of shit tricks, but this hardly is Godaddy fault. Also GoDaddy doesn't and cannot hold the domains "for few to six months" - this makes no sense at all - they either have to renew it for a year or not renew it at all. And they did not renew it if there are no bids. And in the end there are like bazillion registrars that sell their names via GoDaddy auctions - name.com and namecheap to name a few.

You have never saw??? I have experienced, and G0daddy states explicitly...

GoDaddy Auctions ® may extend the length of an auction to allow potential buyers the opportunity to bid. If several bids are submitted in the final moments of an auction, you may lose out to one of these bidders.

Notice it says that G0daddy may extend the auction. I have this happen more times than I can count. Glad you haven't.

You are correct, a lot of things G0daddy does makes no sense, "Domain Name Warehousing" is one of those things.

Code: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_warehousing

Domain name warehousing is the practice of registrars obtaining control of expired domain names already under their management, with the intent to hold or “warehouse” names for their own use and/or profit.

Not true, eh?

A man with an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument.

AngelSeo, maybe the domain name gawds are with you? Maybe you are one of the luckiest people on the planet?

I don't know, but what I do know is that G0daddy has been flouting ICANN rules and their own rules since I acquired my 1st domain through them when they were owned by Bob Parsons.

OP, I say again, keep an eye on that domain like a hawk, and pounce on it once it becomes available. Also, I have called G0daddy and pressed the issue about releasing domains when I have determined that they are engaging in Domain Name Warehousing, and in some cases, they released the domains, and I was able to acquire them.

Hope that helps...

I'm waiting for the 45 days grace period to be over. If I don't get it after 45 days, I will have to register a brand new domain. Can't delay my project anymore.

1.Please read what I said. Godaddy extend the auction for 5 MINUTES after the last bid so other people have time to react - this is OK and good for the majority of bidders. And this is what the paragraph you quoted means.
2. Again read what I said. Registrars DO keep domains, my point was that is either for a year or more, but never few months or 6 months - after all the registration is for a year, so for GoDaddy doesnt make sense at all to pay for 1 year then delete the domain after 3 months.
 
Usually, GoDaddy expired domains immediately after the grace period. I lost my previous domain initially after the supplementary timeframe. Just wait a few days more.

AngelSeo, I read what you said, and I have been in numerous auctions they were G0daddy extended the auction multiple times, and this is not OK, not even "1" time. When that clock zeros down to 00.00, that should be the end. In any other auction venue, it is! I've been participating as a buyer and seller with Manheim Auctions for over 15 years and the auctioneer does not have the ability extend any auction. The seller can reject the high bid IF they paid for a reserve price, but that's it.

The games that G0daddy plays are unethical, point blank.

Furthermore, you tell me that G0daddy has never warehoused domain names for a few months or 6 months? At times, Lately, I may be monitoring anywhere from 250 to 300 domain names in the G0daddy domain name warehouse on any given week - and can say emphatically that SOME domains they line up with ICANN rules, SOME domains they abide their own rules, but there are other domains where there is no rhyme, reason, logic or ethics to what they do.

We can agree to disagree; I was merely telling the OP to stay on his game when dealing with this slight of hand Registrar.

Good luck!

For the first part - the 5 minutes extension of the auction is normal and exist everywhere (namesilo, namejet, dynadot) - as buyer I fully support and agree - its really shit if the auction end with last second bid. Its bad for both the buyers and the registrars.

The second part is kinda obvious - if they sold the domain of course it will be no longer with them. But for half of the sins is not actually GoDaddy to blame, but ICAAN and half of the other registrars. GoDaddy have shit UI, shit support, always trying to sell you crap, the pricing is outrageous, all of that is true. But for what you blame them? Sorry, nope.
 
Godaddy not usually. They tend to move them over to there auction system and try to auction them off. If it was a domain i was watching and wanted i have never seen it personal on godaddy that his hit the auction and did not sell and then be able to pick up by just doing a registration. Now I have picked them up in the auction for like 5 bucks to 50 bucks
Other domain providers usually after about 60 to 90 days you will see that you can then register it if the orginal owner has not reclaimed it by that time.
