When a domain expires, there is a time period of a little over eight weeks when it is inactive, but may still be renewed by its current owner. During this time period, the domain cannot be taken by anybody else, but if it isn't renewed, it goes into the so-called Pending Deletion period that lasts 5 days. This is the time when ICANN-accredited registrar firms take backorders for these domain names. If a specific name is backordered, the registrar will make an attempt to register it for the customer as soon as it's deleted and offered to the general public, which gives people the opportunity to get a short and memorable domain which may have been used by some other person up until this moment. If the domain is extremely attractive, a couple of companies can try to register it in the same time and since this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there's no warranty that a specific person will have that domain. Nonetheless, employing a backorder service will give you a better chance to get a specific domain than when you attempt to register it personally.

Domain Backorder in Cloud Website Hosting

As we work with an ICANN-licensed company, we offer domain name backorders with all cloud website hosting plans, so you will not have to register for a different account. A separate section within your Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel will allow you to browse all domains that will be deleted in the following days and we have added several filters that will allow you to narrow your search. You'll be able to type in any word or phrase, specify the minimum and maximum number of characters, select an exact deletion date or pick the extensions that should be shown. Employing the filters will save you lots of time and in case you discover a domain name that you'd like to have, you can place an order for it with just a click. If we're not able to register the chosen name, you won't lose the money you have paid and you'll be able to order other domain names with it - new registrations or backorders.
