When a domain expires, there's a period of a little over eight weeks when it is not active, but may still be renewed by the current owner. During this time, the domain cannot be taken by anybody else, but if it's not renewed, it enters the so-called Pending Deletion period that lasts five days. This is the time when ICANN-accredited registrar firms take backorders for this kind of domains. When a given name is backordered, the registrar will attempt to register it for the customer the moment it is deleted and offered to the public, which gives people an opportunity to obtain a short and memorable domain which may have been used by another person until now. In case the domain is quite appealing, several companies can try to register it in the same time and due to the fact that this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there's no warranty that a specific person will have that domain name. Nevertheless, using a backorder service will give you a lot better chance to end up getting a particular domain than if you attempt to register it yourself.
Domain Backorder in Shared Web Hosting
You will be able to backorder domains from your Hepsia Control Panel as we partner with an ICANN-approved registrar company and we provide this service as part of all shared web hosting plans. This way, you shall not need a separate account and you'll be able to take care of the recently purchased domain and also the hosting space for it in a single place. The service has its own part in the Control Panel where you will discover all domains scheduled to be erased in the next 5 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. In addition, you'll be able to search exclusively for domains which contain dictionary words or set a phrase of your choosing. Acquiring a domain from the list will take you just a mouse click and in case we are unable to register the required name, your money will not be lost and you'll be able to use it for domain registrations, renewals and / or backorders afterwards.
