Thread: When will the domain release?

The domain I am watching is with the status - PENDING DELETE SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE

The last updated time is Last Updated On:18-Jul-2009 14:45:27 UTC

Any idea by when will the domain release for public registration?

I cant seem to figure out from the Inregistry site. It says the 5th day so when do you think it will expire? I am a newbie in this are and need help me regain the domain I lost.

Also what will be the GMT time it will release?

22nd August 8 PM UTC. That is 23rd August 1:30 AM IST

Thanks. Did you notice the domain got updated way back in july but the registry site says the pending delete status lasts only for 5 days but why is it taking so long? The domain is supposed to expire however in january 2010 but the status is delete ready for release. I am all confused.

kussy, do all expiring domains get released at 8:00 pm UTC? I ask because this post says:

The domains are released at 9 pm UTC / GMT.

Is the post out-of-date?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, .in drops occur at 8pm UTC.

I do *not* think GMT timezone is equal to UTC, because of daylight savings. To be 100% sure use UTC.

Will the domain release even if the expiry is far away?

Just look at the last updated date and calculate 35 days from there. It does not depend on the expiry date.

Thanks.

So the domain will exactly release on the 35th day or the very next day?

Wow you ask many questions! Yes they release EXACTLY on the 35th day at exactly 8 pm UTC ( 36th day 1:30 AM IST).

Oh great. Sorry Kussy. I am trying to get my company domain which was registered in Feb 2005 and want to be precise so that I dont lose it.

I am very sure this info will help quite a few people and Kussy you rock!
