I started working on processing the Godaddy closeouts feed only to discover that all of the closeouts listed in it expire within just a few hours of the feed being released. What happens to these domains after their closeout listing expires? Is it still possible to buy these domains somehow? I see them going back to a parked page. Some go to a Godaddy parked page while I've seen some go to other parked pages like "Hosting Dude".
 


Godaddy closouts are a last chance clearinghouse before the domain deletes and becomes available to register.

If the domains wasn't purchased in Godaddy's expiring auctions, and wasn't purchased in the closeouts section, then there's a good chance it won't have any existing back orders on it and will become available to hand register shortly after.
