Is this a trick question? It expired Dec. 13th.

Honest answer: With most registrars, they give the domain owner a short period of time to renew the name (15-30 days, or something around there.) Then there is the Verisign mandated "Redemption Grace Period" - which is another 30 days. After all that, the domain is in "Pending Delete Status" for 5 days. The whole process varies slightly among registrars.

Registerfly is different. I believe from the day the name "expires" to the day it actually "deletes" (or drops, and becomes available for registration) is exactly 90 days. I had to research a Registerfly domain before, and this is what I recall.

So for the domain you are looking at, it's 90 days after 12-13-04. I think that would be March 13th. Err...could be March 12th. The calendar confuses me.
