I couldn’t even believe I had snagged it as it was one of USA’s top new shows. I had bought it last summer and apparently forgot about it to long because I lost it and it’s now in the redemptionPeroid.

redemptionPeriod is a 30 calendar day period were the original owner can make a request to get it back. I’m not really big on domaining but I did not know there was a hefty fee involved with this process.

My rep at NameCheap.com were I got the domain from told me it costs $9.29 to renew the domain, plus a $200.00 fee. These orders are specially processed by the management and they ensure the domain will get back to you. Don’t get me wrong, $210 beans ain’t shit if you lapsed on a fully developed domain but I had it pointed here to smmguru.com collecting dust. Hopefully ill be able to snag it when its out of redemption :)
