.co.uk domain

[Jubber]

There is a .co.uk domain that I want. It is currently suspended and has a TAG. The renewal date was 5th Jan 2008. When would it be up for grabs.?

I spoke to nominet, they were quite vague and said "97 days" give or take a few days (?) and said it is first come first served on the registration of the domain. Does that mean I have to sit by my PC for a week checking to see if it is available.? Is there a better way.?

About 3 months from what I remember.

There are services that will monitor it and register it for you as soon as it becomes available, but not sure I'd trust them not to register it themselves then try to shaft you for a bigger fee. Besides you can do it yourself by checking each day so depends how lazy/forgetful you are!
