Expired DomainsAn expired domain is a domain name that was registered by someone but whose registration was not renewed when it expired. Domains must be renewed annually. If a domain name is not renewed, it eventually expires and after a complicated waiting period, it becomes eligible for re-registration. The effect of expiration is to strip the "owner" of his rights to the domain and eventually make it available to anyone else who may wish to register it.Approximately 20,000 .com domains expire every day. Most are junk, but sometimes people allow some really great domains to expire, and this is your opportunity to snap up some internet real estate. Domains are allowed to expire for a number of different reasons. Carelessness is probably one of the top reasons why domains expire. I have to confess that I have lost a few good domains myself because I neglected to pay the registration fee when a domain came up for renewal. Domain names also expire because they are no longer needed or their owners may not have the funds to keep re-registering them. If you are looking for a domain for a new web site or simply as a potential investment, it is a good idea to monitor the domains that expire each day and try to find the hidden gems.
Expired Domains Are not Always a Good IdeaYou should note that just because a domain has expired and is available for registration again, does not mean that you should necessarily but it. Like a house sitting on a toxic waste dump, some domains are better left unregistred. You should alwayse make sure that the domain is not a trade marked. For example if the domain coke.com were ever to expire and become available for registratio, you would be foolish to register it because the coke part of the domain is clearly a trade mark which does not belong to you. For Deleted Domains you should look at other sites.
