Hi everyone!
I'm new to this forum, just found out about it from Mike Merz.
First off, as Robert Adams stated, web hosts and domain
registrars are indeed two different things, although they
can do both, it depends.
It depends on what status your domain name is now.
If it's a .COM, go to
www.verisign-grs.com, type the domain name
in the WHOIS section at the upper right, and click submit.
The result will show what status the domain name is as well
as where it's registered on the line "Registrar".
If it's inactive, that means it's still registered with that registrar.
How soon that domain will be deleted from their database is up
to them.
If the status is "Redemption Period", the domain name has
already been deleted from that registrar & will remain that way
for 30 days. After 30 days, it'll take about 5-6 days before it
REALLY becomes available.
Any luck getting it back?
