subject: Expired Domains [print this page] If you want to put up your business on the web but do not have a registered domain name for it or if you found a domain name which is already bought by someone else, then you can get an expired domain name for your site.
Most of the domain name owners do not renew all of the domain names. This could be due to lack of initerest,or because there are many like named domains or simply because they forgot to renew the domain names. If the owner does not renew the domain names in time, then the domain name can be registered by you.
The expired domain names also has the same weight as a new domain name, if not more. They do not lose their value just because they are expired. An advantage of an expired domain name is that it has been around longer and hence can be identified by the search engines easily. Another advantage is that if it was used by a website and then you register it for yourself, you can get all the links and traffic of the previous website.
When a domain name expires, it goes through a 'grace period'which could vary form a couple of weeks to a year.This is followed by a 'redemption period' which is normally 30 days. During this period, all of the domain owner's information is removed but they can still renew it. At the end of the redemption period the domain name can be published.
However, many people will want to register the expired domain name. So how do you get to the domain name before anyone does? Ballistic Domains makes this task easier for you. You can backorder expired domain names.
Once the domain name is backordered, it will be monitored and Ballistic Domains will register it under you as soon as it becomes available.But there is no guatrantee to this. The expired domain name may be auctioned or renewed. You will be informed of whatever happens.
Ballistic Domains offers to let you see lists of domain names that are soon to expire.
