Left the .how zone on this day
3 names lost their nameservers in the .how zone file dated Tue, Oct 20. Most are deletions entering the 30-day redemption period; unless restored, they should be released around Tue, Nov 24. Each one is being confirmed with the registry.
New in the .how zone on this day
5 names appeared in the zone file — new registrations, plus a few older names that regained nameservers.
How this works: the registry publishes a zone file once a day listing every domain with nameservers. We compare each day's file with the previous one; a name that disappears has almost always been deleted and enters a 30-day redemption period, followed by five days of pending delete, after which it is released. We confirm every name with the registry's RDAP service before it is listed as a drop.
