Backorder: Secure Domains the Moment They Expire
A backorder gives you the best possible chance of registering a domain name that is currently taken. Instead of manually monitoring expiry dates, your registration request is automatically submitted the moment the domain becomes available, increasing your chances of securing it before others do.
Why Use a Backorder?
Valuable domains are rarely left unregistered for long. When a domain expires, there is often strong competition to secure it.
A backorder helps you:
- Increase your chances of registering an expiring domain
- Avoid manual tracking and timing risks
- Act quickly in competitive situations
- Support strategic domain acquisition efforts
Understanding the Domain Lifecycle
When a domain expires, it typically goes through several stages before it becomes available for registration. These may include grace periods, redemption phases, and deletion.
Backorders are designed to act at the precise moment a domain is released for public registration.
How Backordering Works
This process removes timing uncertainty and increases your likelihood of success.
