EXPIRED Status
The SgR2R registry system runs an automated script at an hourly interval (45th minute of every hour) to update affected domains to EXPIRED status. An ACT(Active) domain goes into EXP(Expired) status when the expiry date/time is past the execution date/time of the automated script. Specifically, the formula used to determine if the status of a domain name should be changed to "EXP" is given by: (Date/Time when script is run) > (Expiry Date/Time).
DELETED Status
The SgR2R registry system runs an automated script at an hourly interval (45th minute of every hour) to update affected domains to DELETED status. An EXPIRED domain goes into DELETED Status when the expiry date/time is 30 days past execution date/time of the automated script. Specifically, the formula used to determine if the status of a domain name should be changed to "DEL" is given by: (Date/Time when script is run) - (Expiry Date/Time) > (30x24 hours).
PURGED Status
The SgR2R registry system runs an automated script at regular intervals (45th minute of every hour) to PURGE domains with DELETED status. A DELETED domain name gets PURGED when the deleted data/time is 30 days past execution date/time of the automated script. Specifically, the formula used to determine if a domain name should be PURGED is given by: (Date/Time when script is run) - (DELETED Date/Time) > (30 x 24 hours).
Although the specific DELETED Date/Time is not available in public WHOIS and thus the specific date/time of the purging cannot be derived accurately by the public, the general advice to the public would be that under normal circumstances, a domain name will be purged on the next 45th minute after 60 x 24 hours have passed since the domain name expiry date/time.
For example: Domain name expiry date/time: 03-Dec-2011 07:23:52. Domain name purge date/time: 01-Feb-2012 07:45:23.
However, SGNIC does not guarantee all domain names will be purged as per described above as there may be other reasons that prevent the purging (e.g. the domain name is being held for pending court cases or if there were system maintenance activities during the execution of the automated script).
