Question

How quickly after a domain expires (that I don't own) will it become available for purchase on domain registrar sites?

Answer 1

Generally the domain will enter a grace period after it's expired. This lasts 40 days. During this time the domain can be renewed for the same price as regular renewal. After that it enters a redemption period, where it can be renewed for an additional fee. This lasts 30 days. Then it enters the deletion period, which takes 5 days. So the entire process takes 75 days.
