# domain kiting

Deleting a domain just before the add grace period ends and registering it again at once, over and over, so the holder keeps the name without ever paying for it. It is a repeated form of domain tasting. Limits on credited deletions in gTLDs, in force since 2009, were introduced to curb tasting.
