Re: REGISTRAR-HOLD and domain expiry

Hi Ryan,

Yes, the domain is on hold because it's expired. When a domain expires like
this, the registry renews it for the registrar which is why it's showing as
renewed. Technically, the grace period ends with the registrar sending the
registry a delete command for the domain, then redemption begins.

If this is a domain you need/want to get back, please reply offlist if you'd
like help.

Cheers,

Doug.
