Domain expired

Last night, for a few hours, Textpattern.com was unreachable, my ISP couldn’t even find the DNS record. Did a Whois and found out that the Textpattern.com domain had expired, oh I thought, what a hot property to own ;)

Re: Domain expired

Bert, did you manage to register this?

I just checked and get mixed results. Instantdomainsearch.com still shows this as available so I tried to register this for the community but my host says it’s taken. Is it safe in your hands — or in one of the developer’s possession? Presumably it is indeed safe as the domain now resolves and to the right place.

Re: Domain expired

betterwhois claims:

Registrar: EASYDNS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
   Whois Server: whois.easydns.com
   Referral URL: http://www.easydns.com
   Name Server: NS1.TEXTDRIVE.COM
   Name Server: NS2.TEXTDRIVE.COM
   Status: clientTransferProhibited
   Status: clientUpdateProhibited
   Updated Date: 27-jul-2009
   Creation Date: 26-jul-2000
   Expiration Date: 26-jul-2010

So something important happened today, but who re-registered it…? Dean’s name is still on the extended record.

Re: Domain expired

Dean has renewed the registration quite in time. World is safe.

Hehe, nice to know we don’t need to break out the sky-is-falling umbrella just yet.

Re: Domain expired

If you go to whois.easydns.com and do a whois lookup it shows Dean to be the owner. I guess he renewed the registration of the domain as dotster’s whois service shows that it is registered until 26-Jul-2010.

Thank you Dean, we owe you so much.

Would you like an email reminder before July 26, 2010 rolls around?

Re: Domain expired

Normally domains will be automatically renewed by the registar and not by the domain owner (depending on the agreement with the registar):

The expiration date displayed in this record is the date the registrar’s sponsorship of the domain name registration in the registry is currently set to expire. This date does not necessarily reflect the expiration date of the domain name registrant’s agreement with the sponsoring registrar. Users may consult the sponsoring registrar’s Whois database to view the registrar’s reported date of expiration for this registration.
