So I've got my eye on a domain (no crazy keyword or anything, it's just the name of my LLC), and when I search for it on godaddy it says it is unavailable. I search the whois and get this:
I've done enough research to know that the "redemption period" is a 30 day grace period after a domain expires when the current owner can renew the domain for a small fee. Then, there is a 5 day "pending deletion" period immediately after.
So if this expired on June 10th, shouldn't it have become available around July 15th?
