There was an article on Sitepoint I recently read about expired domain
names.
I forgot to renew my domain on the first of January this year, and a couple
weeks later was able to renew it. I assume, due to the grace period.
This is a little outdated but may give you some insight.

Just what I'm after, found the gory details here:
http://www.nic.uk/registrants/detagged/

That page basically says "you're going to have to wait a loong time".

That's about the size of it. Thanks for the info.

Couldn't find it with a cursory hunt, but I've emailed Nominet anyway to ask
them what the best approach is. 

Will report back if they give me any details on this,

Cheers

I think if you look at the Nominet Site, buried 
in there is a note that you can record an 
interest in a name that lapses with a view to 
doing what you want. If it wasn't there, then try 
www.namesco.co.uk - I've used them for some 
registrations. I know I saw it somewhere!!


But since it is renewable every two years and the 
existing owner has had it for six - you might be 
lucky!! Seems they don't want someone (your client?) to get hold of it!!

Hello list,

We have a client who wants to try and grab a domain which is currently
registered but due to expire this weekend (it's a .org.uk, FWIW).

There isn't a website or any other sign of life there at the moment, and as it
was originally registered six years ago we're hopeful that the owner has given
up on it and is planning to let it lapse.

Assuming it doesn't get re-registered this week, 
has anyone got any info on how

we could best get our hands on it? Is there a grace period where the existing
owner gets first refusal, or can we just 
register it on Monday morning like any

other domain?

Any tips/advice welcome,

Thanks,
Jon

Can't remember the exact terminology as I'm up to my neck in XML and really 
crappy parsers but I think after a domain lapses there is a certain period 
("detagged" I think) where the domain is shut off from the net but is still 
tied to its existing owner allowing them to renew (just in case they forgot 
or something). I think this state lasts for a few months.


If the domain is not re-registered by the end of this limbo state then it 
comes open for purchase. Only at that stage will your client be able to grab 
it.


I think...
