After a domain name expires it will go through the expiration process which gives the original owner a 30 day grace period to renew the name followed by a 30 day redemption period again for the original owner only. About 5 days after that the expired name will drop back into circulation for the general public.
The best ways to obtain an expired name is to use a drop catcher to get the name for you. The most popular are:
and http://www.godaddy.com/ if the name is registered there.
go to godaddy.com and contact customer service.....find out what you need to do.......you can grab the domain within a few days of expiration.
Some ISP's like AIT and others, will hold a domain name for 30 days past the expiration date so the owner can renew the domain, they call it a courtesy. Hmmm..... After that time the release the domain name.........
As the article suggests, a drop catcher may help in getting an expired domain name. But there is no guarantee to definitely get the domain name. As there will be always a tough competition for an expiring domain name. The better way is to contact the domain name owner for a bargain before the domain name expires. The contact details of a domain name owner can be obtained by having a whois lookup at WhoisXY.com Good luck.
