When a domain name expires, there is a time period of a little over eight weeks when it's inactive, but may still be renewed by the current owner. During this period, the domain cannot be taken by anybody else, but if it is not renewed, it goes into the so-called Pending Deletion period which lasts 5 days. This is the time when ICANN-accredited registrar companies take backorders for this type of domain names. If a particular name is backordered, the registrar will make an attempt to register it for the customer right after it's deleted and available to the general public, which gives people an opportunity to acquire a short and easy to remember domain which may have been employed by another person until now. In case the domain is very appealing, a number of companies may try to register it in the same time and since this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there is no guarantee that a particular person will have that domain. However, using a backorder service will give you a better chance to get a specific domain than if you attempt to register it manually.

Domain Backorder in Shared Website Hosting

All shared website hosting packages that we offer include a domain backorder service as a standard as our company is a partner of an ICANN-licensed domain registrar. You may order a domain right from your Hepsia Control Panel where you will see a list of all the domain names scheduled to be erased in the next several days. Helpful filters will allow you to narrow this list, so instead of going through thousands of names, you'll be able to search for an exact phrase, specify the extension and the length, or browse only domain names that will be deleted on a particular date. The filters will save you considerable time and placing a backorder will take you just a single mouse click. In case we acquire the domain that you'd like to have, it will be available in your Control Panel right away. In the event that we're not successful, the money for it will be available within your account and you shall be able to use it for other domains - new registrations, renewals and / or backorders.
