When a domain name expires, there is a period of a little over 2 months when it's inactive, 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's not renewed, it gets into the so-called Pending Deletion period that lasts five days. This is the time when ICANN-accredited registrar companies take backorders for this kind of domains. In case a given name is backordered, the registrar will try to register it for the customer immediately after it is deleted and offered to the public, which gives people a chance to acquire a short and memorable domain that may have been used by someone else up until this moment. If the domain is really attractive, several companies could try to register it in the same time and because this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there's no warranty that a specific person will have that domain name. Nevertheless, employing a backorder service will give you a much better chance to acquire a specific domain than if you try to register it yourself.

Domain Backorder in Website Hosting

All website hosting plans that we provide come with a domain backorder service by default as we partner with an ICANN-certified registrar. You may order a domain from your Hepsia Control Panel where you will discover a list of all domains planned to be deleted in the following several days. Useful filters will enable you to narrow the list, so rather than checking out thousands of names, you can search for a certain phrase, specify the extension as well as the length, or browse only domains which will be erased on a given date. The filters will save you lots of time and placing a backorder will take you only one click. In case we get the domain name that you would like to have, it will be available in your Control Panel without delay. In the event that we're not successful, the funds for it will be available in your account and you will be able to use it for other domains - new registrations, renewals or backorders.

Domain Backorder in Semi-dedicated Servers

Being an authorized registrar, we offer domain backorders with each semi-dedicated server account and you shall be able to take full advantage of this service via your Hepsia Control Panel, not through an outside platform. All domain names which will be erased soon will be listed in a separate section and you will be able to browse through all of them or set a custom filter so as to decrease the number of domain names you'll have to go through. You will be able to choose the specific date of deletion, the domain name extension, the minimum and maximum amount of characters, or search by an exact phrase or a dictionary word. Using filters will save you a lot of efforts and will allow you to search for a good domain fast and easy. If we do not register the name you would like to have, you will still be able to use the money for it for another service.

Domain Backorder in Dedicated Servers

As we are an accredited registrar company, we've included a backorder section within the billing Control Panel of our dedicated servers, so that you can take advantage of this service fast and easy without opening some other account. When you go to this section, you will discover the complete list of the domain names that will become available in the following 5 days. When you use the filters we've added, you can browse domain names that'll be erased on a given date, and select their extension and length. In addition to that, you can browse by a specific phrase or use a dictionary option which will filter all domain names that are just random groups of letters and numbers. It takes just a mouse click to place a backorder for any domain name from the list and if we register it successfully, you will be able to manage it immediately from the very same Control Panel. In the event that someone else takes the desired domain, the money will be added as credit to your account and will not be lost.
