When a domain expires, there's a period of a little over two months when it's inactive, but could still be renewed by its current user. During this period, the domain cannot be taken by anybody else, but if it's not renewed, it gets into the so-called Pending Deletion period which lasts five days. This is when ICANN-accredited registrar firms take backorders for such domain names. In case a given name is backordered, the registrar will make an attempt to register it for the customer the moment it's deleted and available to the public, which gives people a chance to get a short and easy to remember domain which may have been used by somebody else up to now. In case the domain is very appealing, several companies can try to register it in the same time and because this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there is no guarantee that a specific person will get that domain name. However, using a backorder service will give you a better chance to get a specific domain than if you try to register it personally.
Domain Backorder in Hosting
You will be able to backorder domains from your Hepsia Control Panel because we work with an ICANN-licensed registrar company and we provide this service as part of all hosting solutions. This way, you will not need a separate account and you will be able to control the recently bought domain along with the hosting space for it in a single place. The service has its own section in the Control Panel where you will discover all domains due to be deleted in the next five days. For a more precise search, you will be able to use several filters that we have added - minimum and maximum amount of characters, domain extension, exact deletion date, etc. What's more, you'll be able to search only for domains that include dictionary words or specify a phrase of your choice. Getting a domain name from the list will take you just a mouse click and in case we're not able to register the required name, your money won't be wasted and you will be able to use it for domain registrations, renewals or backorders afterwards.
Domain Backorder in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you have a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company, you won't have to open a different account to backorder a domain name since we provide this service in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The full list of all domains scheduled to be deleted will be available and you shall be able to get any domain name with just a single mouse click. Employing the filters for a particular deletion date, domain length and top-level extension will allow you to narrow the search and browse only domain names you are interested in. In addition, you'll be able to browse domain names which include only dictionary words or a certain phrase of your choice, which can save you quite a lot of time as many hundreds of domains are erased every single day. Of course, if we are not able to acquire the desired domain, the funds for it will be present as credit for future orders and you won't lose it.
Domain Backorder in Dedicated Hosting
As we're an accredited registrar, we've included a backorder section inside the billing Control Panel of our dedicated servers, so that you can take advantage of this service quick and easy without having to create some other account. When you go to this section, you'll see a complete list of the domains which 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 particular date, and select their extension and length. In addition, you can browse by an exact phrase or use a dictionary option that will filter all domains that are just random groups of letters and numbers. It takes only a mouse click to make a backorder for any domain name from the list and if we register it successfully, you'll be able to manage it immediately from the exact same Control Panel. In case somebody else takes the wanted domain, the funds will be added as credit to your account and won't be wasted.
