I'm trying to purchase a domain that's recently expired. The domain registrar, internic.ca, indicates that it is indeed expired and that its status is "SUSPD". Despite this, I can't purchase the domain. Any insight would be appreciated.
Often when a domain expires, they freeze the account for a period to allow the owner to renew it. I don't recall the time line but some co's give something like 60 or 90 days that it is SUSPENDED and the original owner can renew for a their regular price. Then it's held for another 30 or 90 days (don't recall) and the owner can renew it at a much higher penalty price. Then it is released.
