The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

domain name registration information query. - PENDING DELETE RESTORABLE

Asked by ChilliSauce in Domain Name Service (DNS), Hot URLs, Miscellaneous Web Development

Hi,

There is a domain I am interested in purchasing, which is currently unused and on whois it comes up with the following information.

[QUOTE]
Created On:17-Sep-2006 21:39:32 UTC
Last Updated On:22-Oct-2009 13:26:09 UTC
Expiration Date:17-Sep-2010 21:39:32 UTC
Sponsoring Registrar:Abacus America Inc dba Names4Ever (R14-LROR)
Status:HOLD
Status:AUTORENEWPERIOD
Status:PENDING DELETE RESTORABLE
[/QUOTE]


I'm struggling to find out what the above information means as it seems contradictor - IE it has 3 different statuses, and it also says pending delete, but the expiration date says 2010!

Can someone advise me actually what is going on here - is the name likely to get dropped/deleted in the next few weeks?

If it is then I don't want to contact the seller and have to pay a rediculous price for something I could get for free in a few weeks.

What is also interesting is that the ,com version of the domain (the above is for the .org version), is owned by the same person, but the information on that just show:

[QUOTE]Record last updated on 2009-09-19 00:00:00
Record created on 2006-09-17 00:00:00
Record expires on 2010-09-17 00:00:00  [/QUOTE]

So it looks to me like the owner registered both on the same day and has them at the same host. If there was an auto renewal in place, and they were both under renewal process, would you not expect the details to be exactly the same? Does the fact they are different indiacte that the .COM has been renewed, but the .ORG has been left to be deleted.

Could someone also advise (if they think the .ORG is about to be dropped), when the .ORG is likely to become available, given the statuses and dates in the whois information.

Thanks
