When an existing domain expires, it could still be renewed by its current owner for about two months after the expiration and despite the fact that it will not be active, it cannot be taken by someone else. If the domain name is not renewed by then, however, it goes into a 5-day deletion period and subsequently it's available to the public. During the deletion period everybody can send a backorder for the domain name through an ICANN-approved domain registrar and the provider will use its registry channel to try to register the domain for the user the moment it is available. Since many registrars could attempt to obtain a certain domain and names are acquired on first-come, first-serve basis, there is no guarantee that using such a computerized service will give you possession over it, but this is the best way to get an appealing domain name as trying to register it yourself almost certainly means that you will be too late.

Domain Backorder in Shared Website Hosting

As we partner with an ICANN-certified company, we provide domain backorders with all shared website hosting solutions, so you won't need to subscribe for a different account. An individual section within your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel will allow you to browse all the domain names which will be erased in the following days and we have added several filters which will enable you to narrow your search. You will be able to input any word or phrase, specify the minimum and maximum number of characters, select a particular deletion date or pick the extensions which should be displayed. Using the filters will save you time and efforts and when you discover a domain name that you'd like to have, you'll be able to place an order for it with only a mouse click. If we are not able to register the chosen name, you won't lose the money you've paid and you'll be able to order other domain names with it - new registrations or backorders.

Domain Backorder in Dedicated Hosting

If you have a dedicated server from our firm, you shall be able to backorder a domain name directly from your billing Control Panel and will never need to subscribe for another platform as we work with an ICANN-accredited registrar. An entire section in the Control Panel is dedicated to this service and you will find a list of all domains scheduled to be deleted there. Thanks to the filters which we've added to save you time, you'll be able to select to view domain names from a specific date, to define the maximum and minimum length and to pick an extension, thus narrowing the list you'll have to go through. You can also enter a specific phrase or select to see domains that include dictionary words and are not only a random mix of letters and numbers. It takes just a click to order a domain from the list and if we are unable to register it before someone else does that, you will not lose your money as it will be added as a credit to your account.
