    How do you go about buying a domain that has expired? When i do a search for a domain i like i seen the .com was taken but then when i go to the site it has a go daddy splash page and a notice at the top a notice saying the domain expired on 12-02-2011. So basically a month later and its still in this renewal phase. Do you just wait till its back on the market or what?

    You can probably get it via their marketplace and then move it to a different registrar.
