Is there a grace period for expired domains? There's a domain name I like the look of, and it says the record expired on the 13th of April, 2006, which is most certainly yesterday.
Yet I can't register it.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As someone who has forgotten, several times, to renew her domains until after they expired, I think there is a grace period.

How long? I want it! I want it now!
Also, I have some domains I should probably renew.

I'm pretty sure I've spaced up to a week.

I mean, good for you.
But I so thought I'd hit the jackpot.

hee Sorry. I spaced on one URL in particular two years in a row. I'd suddenly get all these emails, WHERE DID YOUR SITE GO?
Oops.

More annoying, this domain isn't even being used, at least not for web stuff. So I have every (unwarranted) conviction that I deserve it more.
Christ, my primary domain expires in less than a month. Let me go get that taken care of.
I don't need any more domains, since I have 5, and only two have honest-to-goodness uses. As Lucy Liu's character said in that crap movie with Banderas: "Some women buy shoes."
Oh, and what does "Status: CLIENT TRANSFER PROHIBITED " mean?

I went on a domain downsizing program a few years ago. I was outta control. And I think that means, they signed up for the thing that secures your domain name so people can't hijack it. Or something.

I finally let bigwhitepanties.com disappear into the ether. That hurt much more than it should have. Someone registered it, but there's no there there.

All is well that ends in pizza.
What an idiot.
According to this article [link] Apple allowing dual boots will mean an exodis from Macs to Windows.
Yeah, we are all poor lost souls, who need to see the light and we have only been afraid to make that switch.
Unbelievable.
