[Hidden-tech] domain purchase at expiration

[Rich Roth]

Stacy,
more information, like the domain name, is needed.

The official process is 45 days to renew if you own it and 30 more grace 
period
look at https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/expired-2013-05-03-en

BUT the registry who handles the domain might have variations to those 
policies AND some will allow reserving domains if not renewed, there are 
also services that will keep trying to grab a domain once it gets deleted.

Someone here might have some suggestions as to those services.

The easiest method is to try to buy it, which, from your description 
doesn't sound likely.
It's always an iffy process unless there is a legal trademark involved.

Good Luck,
Rich - webmaster HT
