Default Very odd Whois

Ok all, Im backordering a domain name, today I took a look at its whois:

Status: REDEMPTIONPERIOD
Updated Date: 28-may-2004
Creation Date: 14-oct-1999
Expiration Date: 14-oct-2004

Now if its in redemption period, why does it expire in oct? I now registars add a year to the expiration when the domain is in HOLD but this is really weird.

It could have something to do with the fact that when a domain expires ... even if you make no attempt to renew it, it is held for 3 months before anyone else can renew it.

Or I could be completely wrong :P

I saw a domain the other day that is still active but the whois shows it expired several years ago.

Go figure.

Hi all,

I have also seen some WHOIS records that say they expired over 6 months ago yet still say they are registrar locked or in redemption period. I guess no system is perfect and sometimes there are glitches.

if anyone wants to take a look at the domain name and maybe backorder it, it was forevershopping.com and it is listed in a yahoo paid category.

I have given up on it, even though it has existing traffic.
