    GoDaddy Fail

    I noticed a few weeks ago that a domain I was interested in was in the redemption period because it was not renewed. Domain was registered at GD.

    I still had an old GoDaddy backorder credit left in my GD account from a few years ago so I set up a backorder for the domain.

    A couple of days ago I got the notice from GD saying they were going to be trying to grab it. Yesterday I got the 2nd notice saying the same thing.

    This evening I get a note from GD saying that the capture had been unsuccessful.

    I went and looked up the domain and it appeared to be available so I went to my NameSilo account and registered the domain, no problem.

    So back to having a backorder credit sitting at GoDaddy.

    Seems like GoDaddy should have been able to capture the drop of a domain that is in their own system.

    Funny shit there.

      Wonder what the time difference is or do these domains expire at 0:00 UCT regardless of location of the registrant?

              I don't know but I assume they drop whenever the registrar decides that they drop sonce the timeframes published by icann are not exacts.
