there is a difference between deleted domains and expired domains

expired domain is a domain that is no longer being "paid for" or has expired. the registrar on average will hold the domain for the client for 60-90 days afterwards and try to entice them to renew it for a huge fee (sometimes hundreds of dollars).

Deleted domain is a domain that has been deleted from the dns fo the registrar and open to the public after the 60-90 wait, however, a lot of registrars have agreements with companies like snapnames so they can sell it to the public in an auction for more money. if the domain is undesirable, then it becomes registrable.

If there is a way for it to get the domain before it goes to snapnames i'd like to know
