A domain I'd like to use expired a week ago, It's registered at https://www.ionos.com/

It might be a domain other people are after, as it's something like mySurname.net

From my small amount of research, there is a 30 day cooldown period, and then another 30 days before it actually becomes available

I'd like to have the domain how do I go about it? I see there are some services that charge ~80 Euro to jump on it immediately when it's available, but that doesn't sit well with me.

The domain was only registered 2 years ago, and it's likely that nobody else is interested in it.

How do I best go about this?
