When a domain name expires, there's a period of a little over 2 months when it's not active, but could still be renewed by its current owner. During this time period, the domain cannot be taken by anybody else, but in case it isn't renewed, it goes into the so-called Pending Deletion period which lasts five days. This is when ICANN-accredited registrar companies accept backorders for these domains. If a given name is backordered, the registrar will try to register it for the customer immediately after it is deleted and available to the general public, which gives people the opportunity to acquire a short and memorable domain that may have been used by someone else up to now. In the event that the domain is very attractive, a number of companies can try to register it in the same time and because this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there is no warranty that a particular person will have that domain name. Nevertheless, using a backorder service will give you a much better chance to get a particular domain than if you try to register it yourself.
Domain Backorder in Hosting
We provide a domain name backorder service with all of our hosting plans and you'll be able to take advantage of it from the Hepsia Control Panel. For your convenience, you'll be able to customize the list of domain names that you see by extension, exact deletion date and length, so you shall not have to go through thousands of domains to find whether an appropriate one shall be available soon. You can also search for a certain word or a phrase in the domain name list. In case we can register the desired domain name for you, it will be listed together with all other domains that you have here and you'll be able to manage it just as quickly. We offer the service at very affordable prices when compared to other registrars and if we're unable to obtain a domain name for you, the money shall be available in your account, so you'll be able to use it for other domain names or internet hosting services.
Domain Backorder in Dedicated Servers
Because we're an authorized registrar company, we've included a backorder section in the billing Control Panel of our dedicated servers, so that you can employ this service fast and easy without having to create a separate account. When you go to this section, you will see the complete list of the domain names that will be available in the following 5 days. Thanks to the filters we've added, you can browse domain names that'll be erased on a particular date, and pick their extension and length. In addition, you can search by an exact phrase or use a dictionary option that will filter all domains that are just random groups of letters and numbers. It takes just a mouse click to place a backorder for any domain from the list and if we register it successfully, you will be able to manage it instantly from the same Control Panel. In case someone else takes the desired domain, the funds will be added as credit to your account and will not be lost.
