What Happens When Domain Names Expire?

Ever wonder what happens when a domain name expires? If the domain name registration, reservation, renewal and expiration process seems a little murky to you, you are not alone. The "expiration" process is particularly misunderstood (and complicated), and it is very helpful to know how it works, particularly when watching a parked domain, or one that is pending deletion, and determining whether to try and buy it from the domain owner, or put it on "back-order" with one of the registrars, or take some other action.

There is an entire industry that does nothing but try to exploit expiring domain names, and the process and nomenclature is explained in excellent detail at this site.

Here is a quick summary from the reference site (at least for .com/.net/.org/.info/.biz/.us. domains):

Generally speaking, once a domain expires, the owner has 1-75 days to renew it, and the costs associated with a renewal usually increase as the domain moves from Hold (Registrar-Hold) to RGP (Redemption Grace Period).

During the Hold and RGP stage, the DNS, e-mail and web services cease to work for the expired domain. The domain gets removed from the zone file and does not appear to resolve (cannot find server error is displayed in the browser).

Once a domain reaches the deletion stage in the cycle (also known as PendingDelete) it can no longer be renewed and is marked for deletion by the registry. There are approximately 35,000 domains that go through the PendingDelete cycle daily.

After the 5 day PendingDelete cycle (or if a registrar chooses to immediately delete a domain), a domain drops and once again becomes available for registration.

Here are some interesting facts about the domain drop cycle:

120,000 to 200,000 domains expire daily due to non-renewals. Many of these are renewed as soon as the registrant realizes that their e-mail or site no longer works.
25,500 to 60,000 domains drop (become available) daily as part of the regular drop cycle.
Approximately 1.5 million domains are registered and dropped daily as part of domain tasting.
The official drop time for .com/.net is between 11 AM and 2 PM Pacific time (domains are deleted in batches throughout this period).

10 Técnicas para cooperar com a ansiedade.

A ansiedade muitas vezes pode bater á porta e causar variações no sistema nervoso e algumas pessoas são capazes de ignorar.

Se você é um dos milhões que luta com ansiedade, a boa notícia é que muitos podem se sentir melhor, mesmo sem medicação. Você pode tomar uma atitude positiva própria para dominar a ansiedade e sentir-te mais no controlo. É claro, especialmente se os seus sintomas estão piorando, por favor consulte o seu médico ou outro profissional de saúde para conselhos tratamento.

Tanto o corpo e a mente estão envolvidos na ansiedade. É um círculo vicioso - os pensamentos preocupantes e negativos constantes podem produzir sintomas físicos, que podem causar pensamentos mais ansiosos. Torna-se um padrão que torna-se difícil de se ver livre. (Mas não é impossível, basta usar um pouco de honestidade e senso comum.)

Combater sua ansiedade em ambos os níveis mental e físico, é praticando estas 10 estratégias que penso ajudar muitos.

Maneiras físicas de diminuir ansiedade
Tente estas para reduzir fisicamente níveis de ansiedade:

1. Respire.
Respiração é vital, deixe de fumar. Respirar profunda e lentamente.

2. Mexa-se.
Use a energia extra que seu corpo produz quando está ansioso. Se não fizeres isso, ela acumula-se e torna-te nervoso. Ao fazer exercício frequente, vai evitar o corpo armazenar o excesso de adrenalina. Ver também "Spark" por John Ratey onde ele explica detalhes como o exercício é eficaz na ansiedade comparado com medicamento de prescrição (...Zoloft...).

3. Assente-se tranquilo.
Embora seja importante exercitar, estar sentado tranquilo durante o dia é preciso. Se passares por um episódio de ataque de pânico ou ansiedade, esforçar-te a ficar onde estás concentra-te em técnicas de relaxamento, como respiração profunda, para ajudar a prevenir a ansiedade paralizante.

A ansiedade pode piorar por um momento, mas pela respiração e sentando podes afastar a ansiedade a distância. Essa técnica também é útil para ti, porque prepara-te e faz-te sentir mais confiante na próxima experiência de ansiedade.

4. Distraia-te.
É difícil pensar sentires-te nervoso quando estás ativamente envolvido em outras atividades. Ajude os outros, jogar um jogo, ou faz outra coisa que requer concentração total assim que começares a sentir-te ansioso.

5. Fica em forma.
Estar fisicamente apto pode ajudar-te a sentir melhor de saúde e reduz ansiedade. Não é um objetivo rápido, mas mais um objetivo a longo prazo que irás perseguir diariamente. Estar em boa condição física é muito útil na prevenção de ansiedade.

Maneiras mentais de diminuir ansiedade:
Uma atitude mental positiva é tão importante como a utilização de técnicas físicas para ajudar a superar a sua ansiedade. Há muitas maneiras que você pode usar seus recursos mentais para encontrar a paz e calma no meio do caos de ansiedade.

Siga estas técnicas para lidar com a sua ansiedade ao nível mental:

6. Eduque-se.
É difícil lutar contra algo que você não entende. Saiba mais sobre a condição para ter melhor compreensão do que estás a enfrentar.

7. Rede/Círculo.
Converse com outras pessoas, pode ajudá-lo a se sentir melhor e trazer estratégias adicionais que têm trabalhado na sua situação. Estenda a mão para os outros!

8. Use o sinal de stop.
Imagine um grande sinal de STOP em sua mente quando você começa a ter pensamentos ansiosos. A técnica de sinal de STOP é um ótimo lugar para começar.

9. Auto-sugestão, afirmações a nós próprios.
Diga declarações positivas para si mesmo a cada dia para ajudarte a ficar forte e corajoso. Por exemplo: "Eu sou uma pessoa de valor e digna, e tenho muito a dar ao mundo."

10. Separe um tempo para se preocupar.
Se você colocar alguns minutos a cada dia em um horário definido e dedicar-ser a preocupar apenas com nesse tempo, você encontrará logo que ela se torna uma tarefa - fazer você se preocupar menos. Por apenas permitindo-se preocupar-se nesse período curto, você pode programar sua mente preocupar-se menos.

Não importa quanto tempo você teve ansiedade, você pode mudar isso. Quando você aplica as técnicas mentais e físicas para a obter melhoras, você irá descobrir que é você - e não a ansiedade - que está no controle!
