Domain Backorder
What happens after I backorder a domain?
Domain Backorder is services that attempt to acquire a currently registered domain when it becomes available for registration. Backorders don’t guarantee domain acquisition. The current registrant might renew the domain, or we might fail to capture it for you.
- Backorder a domain and set it up. Only one person can place a backorder on a domain.
- Monitor the domain to be notified of changes to the registrar, status, expiration date or nameservers.
- We Host 4 u attempts to capture the domain: We’ll attempt to acquire the domain via backorder after the registry releases the domain on its available date. We’ll continue attempting until we or another registrar captures the domain.
- If we successfully capture the domain, we’ll move it into your account within 45 days with a one year registration.
- If you didn’t win, you can apply the backorder credit to another domain name or keep the backorder on the same domain to try again the next time it expires.
