When a domain name expires, there's a period of a little over 2 months when it is not active, but could still be renewed by its current owner. During this time, the domain cannot be taken by anybody else, but if it is not renewed, it enters the so-called Pending Deletion period which lasts five days. This is when ICANN-accredited registrar firms accept backorders for such domains. When a specific name is backordered, the registrar will attempt to register it for the customer the second it's deleted and accessible to the public, which gives people the option to obtain a short and easy to remember domain which may have been used by another person up to now. In the event that the domain is really attractive, a couple of companies can try to register it in the same time and due to the fact that this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there's no guarantee that a particular person will have that domain. Nevertheless, using a backorder service will give you a better chance to obtain a particular domain than if you try to register it personally.
Domain Backorder in Hosting
As we partner with an ICANN-certified service provider, we provide domain name backorders with all hosting packages, so you will not have to sign up for a different account. An individual section within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to browse all domain names which will be deleted in the following days and we have added several filters that will allow you to narrow your search. You will be able to type in any word or phrase, set the minimum and maximum number of characters, select a particular deletion date or pick the extensions that should be viewable. Using the filters will save you lots of time and when you come across a domain that you would like to have, you can place an order for it with just a click. If we are not able to register the chosen name, you will not lose the money you've paid and you will be able to order other domains with it - new registrations or backorders.
