How do you determine when a ".au" domains expires and released to the open market.

Hi guys, I don' really do the domain name catching thing just yet and just wondering if you have any insights about Australian domains and how do you determine when a ".au" domains expires and it released to the open market.

Yes but at the moment they do not run their own daily drop auction like NetFleet.com.au or Drop.com.au.

That is possibly part of the new auHQ.com.au model to not only provide ther drop list but also run the "Official auDA / auHQ Daily Drop Auction".. like they did years ago auctioning off generic .com names and people paid auDA directly with no middleman.

When they did that is was an absolute mess in my view. Strange auction system, poor verification of bidders and the whole thing was a complete double standard because they had a prohibition on domain sales whilst they auctioned off names themselves. $$$$$

I'm with you on the problems with the current drop system but I just don't know if I'd trust AUDA to run something better.

@latin_sydney
the forum is FULL of old posts/threads that give MASSES of valuable information on this, i'd suggest you use the search feature to tap into it.
a lot has changed in the last 3 years ( and ALL years) so reading past threads is how i learnt many things and its saved me MANY $$$$$

i also found when i posted and asked a question that had some knowledge behind it eg: a thread example, i got a better reply.

just look at some of my early posts and you will see i copped a BEATING from the pros ....... still do !

except for current events i do not think there is a question unanswered on dnt already, its the WIKI you want.
