Domain Suspended - What is this about?

[Lafaso870]

I was looking for a domain to see if it was avail to purchase.

Well, it wasnt avail, but I noticed during my investigation, I saw

this at the bottom of the domain whois lookup:

Status:SUSPENDED
Note: This Domain Name is Suspended.
In this status the domain name is InActive and will not function.

Does this mean that the domain register has suspended the domain?

If the domain was suspended at host level, then why would it appear in the domain registration?

It does not say why the domain is suspended, so how can i purchase

a domain, and get it unsuspended, is that even possible.

Hello,

The "Suspended" status looks like you're talking about a .co.uk domain.

If a renewal request is not received from the registrar, Nominet send a renewal reminder by email to registrant email address. You will have 30 days to renew the domain name. If Nominet do not receive a renewal request for your domain name within 30 days of the expiry date, the domain name will be suspended. It will then be cancelled 60 days after suspension and becomes available for the registration. You can then register the domain again
