The process of re-registering expired names is known as dropcatching and various domain name registries have differing views on it. [1] Sometimes, people get locked out of their email and cannot reply to the renew request (or otherwise obstructed or hacked), and their domainname may be deleted and offered as available.
Some registry operators (for example dot-РФ, dot-PL, dot-RU, dot-ST, dot-TM, dot-NO) offer a service by which a back-order (also sometimes known as a "domain future" or "domain option") can be placed on a domain name. If a domain name is due to return to the open market, then the owner of the back-order will be given the first opportunity to ...

Typically this practice occurs after a domain name has expired and the previous registrant has not exercised their right to renew the name within the allotted time frame – usually 45 days following expiration. A domain's expiration date and time can be calculated based on the expiration date in the WHOIS, [1] Auto-Renew Grace Period (0–45 ...
The policy has been adopted by all ICANN-accredited registrars.It has also been adopted by certain managers of country-code top-level domains (e.g., .nu, .tv, .ws).. The policy is then applicable due to the contract between the registrar (or other registration authority in the case of a country-code top-level domain) and its customer (the domain-name holder or registrant).
Domain tasting is the practice of temporarily registering a domain under the five-day Add Grace Period at the beginning of the registration of an ICANN-regulated second-level domain.
