Could you inform me about the specific date and time when the registration for the .COM domain with expiration date of July 19, 2022 will lapse?

The domain's registry expiration date is July 19, 2022 at 14:31:12 Z.


As a side note, it may be worth mentioning that in the .LT zone, the domain name drops exactly one month after its registration expires. It could potentially imply that the drop time in other national zones might differ from that of .COM.

The length of time before a domain expires depends on the registrar and their AutoRenew period, which can stretch up to 45 days. Additionally, there are 30 days of RGP and 5 days of Pending Drop that need to be factored in, resulting in a maximum Registry Expiry Date of 80 days.

To determine the expiration date more accurately, the Update date in the registry during the RGP period (plus 35 days) or in the Pending Drop (plus 5 days) is also considered, regardless of the registrar. It's important to note that different domain zones have their own unique regulations and life periods for domain names.

The specific date and time when the registration for the .COM domain with an expiration date of July 19, 2022, will lapse is pivotal for anyone involved in domain management.

The registry expiration date for the mentioned .COM domain is indeed July 19, 2022, at 14:31:12 Z, as per the WHOIS information. It's important to note that this timestamp is based on the UTC time zone, so it may vary depending on the local time zone of the individual or organization managing the domain.

It's intriguing to observe the unique characteristics of domain drops in different top-level domains (TLDs). For instance, in the .LT zone, the domain name drops precisely one month after its registration expires. This observation emphasizes the need for domain managers to be well-versed in the specific policies and procedures of different TLD registries.

In the broader context of domain management, understanding the drop time in various national zones is crucial for strategic planning and decision-making. Different drop times could have implications for domain investors, businesses, and organizations seeking to acquire expired domains or monitor the availability of specific domain names.
A comprehensive approach to domain portfolio management involves staying informed about the expiration and drop processes across multiple TLDs, taking into account varying policies and timelines. This knowledge allows domain professionals to navigate the dynamic landscape of domain registrations and expirations effectively.
