ClientHold: The domain is on hold at the registrar due to non-payment or other reasons.
ServerHold: The domain is on hold at the registry level, typically due to a legal dispute or other issues.
RedemptionPeriod: The domain has expired, and it is in a grace period before being released for registration by others.
