When a domain name expires, there is a period of a little over 60 days when it's not active, but can still be renewed by the current user. During this time period, the domain cannot be taken by anybody else, but in case it isn't renewed, it enters the so-called Pending Deletion period which lasts five days. This is when ICANN-accredited registrar companies accept backorders for this kind of domain names. If a given name is backordered, the registrar will make an attempt to register it for the customer immediately after it is deleted and accessible to the public, which gives people the option to acquire a short and easy to remember domain which may have been used by someone else until now. In case the domain is quite appealing, several companies could try to register it in the same time and since this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there is no warranty that a particular person will have that domain name. Nevertheless, using a backorder service will give you a lot better chance to end up getting a specific domain than when you try to register it manually.

Domain Backorder in Web Hosting

You will be able to backorder domains from your Hepsia Control Panel because we partner with an ICANN-licensed registrar company and we provide the service as part of all web hosting solutions. That way, you shall not need a separate account and you shall be able to control the newly obtained domain name as well as the hosting space for it in one place. The service has its own section in the Control Panel where you'll discover all domains due to be deleted 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 number of characters, domain extension, exact deletion date, etc. In addition, you'll be able to search only for domains which contain dictionary words or set a phrase of your choosing. Purchasing a domain name from the list will take you just a mouse click and if we are not able to register the required name, your money won't be lost and you shall be able to use it for domain name registrations, renewals and / or backorders afterwards.
