- thepete2 7y agoIsn't there a 1 month period where you don't own the domain anymore, but no one except for you can buy it?
- johntash 7y agoYeah, the "redemption period" is what you're thinking of. As far as I know, only the person who last owned the domain can get it out of that status (usually at a premium cost). After 30 days, anyone can register it. https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-lifecycle-2012-02-25-en https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-lifecycle-2012-02... has a graphic explaining a typical domain lifecycle.
