It will seem obvious but the dot com domains have a specific deadline.
And if they are not renewed they will face a grace period after the deadline.
The owner has a few days to renew the domain without additional costs a redemption period once the grace
period has ended.
The domain can still be recovered by the owner through the registrar itself by paying an additional
fee and pending delete for a few days the domain will be unavailable and not recoverable after this
period.
It will become available for registration again there may be various reasons why important domains have
expired.
When a company realizes that it's about to lose its domain it certainly does not idly sit by.
In fact there are specialized backwards services which through the dedicated API providers such as Go
Daddy allow the registration in just a matter of seconds as soon as their domain becomes available therefore
real scripts fights are created in order to grab the domain a fraction of a second before the other
competitor but why all this interest in an empty domain the history in the course of its existence a
domain may have attracted a very important back links perhaps from newspapers government sites or authoritative
magazines some SEO specialists make particular use of expired and deleted domains checking the past
history and whether the current reputation is still positive by evaluating back links and screenshots
through services like a traffic dot com or archive dot org.
For example if I was to deal with birth control pills I might register the expired domain birth control
pills dot com but if it turns out that it has back links from sites of cheap coats and screenshots show
a clothing e-commerce.
Obviously it would not be the best solution because it would be a bad choice in terms of s e o.
On the other hand if the recovered site was perfectly themed with a new project to be launched.
Personally I wouldn't see anything wrong with this route.
Then there are other Black Hat SEO methods to exploit expired domains but we'll talk about this later
in a dedicated section.
