The following status is the lifecycle of a .mobi domain
1. ACTIVE
Immediately upon registration a domain name becomes ACTIVE, meaning that it is not available for registration. It may take anywhere from 1 hour to 48 hours for the whois record to be updated for a newly registered domain. While registrations take a fraction of a second, updating the whois record usually requires some time. Under most circumstances, a domain can be active for 1-10 years depending on the duration of the registration selected by the user. During the ACTIVE state a domain name can be transferred from one registrar to another.
INACTIVE: status of domain without DNS.
2. Client Hold
Once a domain name expires, it will usually move to the REGISTRAR-HOLD or CLIENTHOLD status. Although the domain has technically expired, the owner still has the opportunity to renew it for at least 30 days (usually).
Under rare circumstances, a domain will not enter the REGISTRAR-HOLD status and will be dropped 1-5 days from its expiration date. Depending on the registrar, a domain name can remain in the REGISTRAR-HOLD status anywhere from 1-45 days, with 30 days being the average.
3. PENDING DELETE RESTORABLE
A status of PENDING DELETE RESTORABLE means the name is in Redemption Grace Period for 30 days and can be renewed by the registrant.
4. PENDING DELETE SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE
A status of PENDING DELETE SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE means the domain name is in the Redemption Hold Period and will expire in 5 days.
