Ask HN: For how long can GoDaddy keep hold of a domain after it has expired? It's been already more than a month since it expired, and I still can't purchase it. This is horrible business practice and I find it amazing that registrars are allowed to do such a thing. |
It will take up to 41 days if you are lucky and nobody buys that domain.
