I dont think it becomes aviable that day i think you have to wait a few months before it becomes back avalible in the search's


you could allways try searching for the same name but slightly changed example if you company name was called "window cleaning" you obv would want www.windowcleaning.co.uk but try for www.window-cleaning.co.uk or something.

if it is not renewed it will be detagged first I think it is then 90 days before you can register it.

Happened to me years ago and cost me £80 to get tag back.

Jampot call me if you want more details. I personally would not go for .com or .net unless you are not UK based of course.
and be very wary where you register a domain name (thats sound advice from someone that knows)
