When you visit the domain it says:
This domain is expired, please renew it. Please contact us for more information.
The whois:
Registrant:
DirectNIC, LTD
Expired Domain Name
*address removed*
Created: 2008-04-29
Expires: 2011-04-29
Updated: 2010-05-01
Registrar Status:
clientDeleteProhibited
clientTransferProhibited
clientUpdateProhibited
Name Server:
EXPIRED-DOMAIN-NS50.DIRECTNIC.COM
EXPIRED-DOMAIN-NS51.DIRECTNIC.COM
Its not a one word domain or anything special. What are they going to? Keep it and display the parked expired page forever? Or will they pass it off to an auction site? Or what?

Interesting that the expiry date is a year into the future. Perhaps the registrar is hedging their bets, paying for renewal and hoping that the owner will pay a redemption $$$ penalty?
