What PendingDelete.net does
PendingDelete.net answers three questions about a domain name: is it taken, is it on its way out, and when will it be released? Each lookup is a live query to the registry's RDAP service, and every result shows the registry's own status codes, so you can check the answer yourself.
- Pending delete: a countdown to the release window.
- Redemption: the projected release date and how reliable that projection is.
- Registered: the expiry date and the earliest date the name could come free if it isn't renewed.
Drop dates are checked against the registry for .com, .net and most extensions. A few, such as .shop, are estimated.
Daily lists
- Dropping today: the day's released names and what became of each one.
- Pending Delete: every name on its way out, in one table you can sort and filter.
- Daily 10 Traffic Picks: each morning, the ten new names in pending delete most likely to still carry traffic, with an archive of earlier days.
