When a domain expires, there is a period of a little over 2 months when it is not active, but can still be renewed by the current owner. During this time period, the domain cannot be taken by anybody else, but if it is not renewed, it goes into the so-called Pending Deletion period that lasts 5 days. This is the time when ICANN-accredited registrar firms accept backorders for such domain names. When a specific name is backordered, the registrar will make an attempt to register it for the customer the moment it is deleted and available to the public, which gives people an opportunity to acquire a short and memorable domain that may have been employed by some other person up to now. In case the domain is quite attractive, a couple of 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 is no guarantee that a particular person will have that domain. Nevertheless, employing a backorder service will give you a better chance to obtain a specific domain than when you try to register it yourself.

Domain Backorder in Cloud Hosting

You shall be able to backorder domains from your Hepsia Control Panel as we work with an ICANN-accredited registrar company and we offer this service as a part of all cloud hosting solutions. This way, you won't need an individual account and you shall be able to control the recently acquired domain along with the hosting space for it in one place. The service has its own section in the Control Panel where you will find all domains due to be erased in the following 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. You will also be able to search just for domains which include dictionary words or specify a phrase of your choosing. Acquiring a domain from the list will take you only a click and in the event that we are unable to register the required name, the money will not be lost and you will be able to use it for domain registrations, renewals and / or backorders afterwards.

Domain Backorder in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We have decided to add a domain backorder service to the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all semi-dedicated hosting accounts, so you won't need to subscribe to a separate platform. This service will permit you to register a domain and host it in one place. All the domains scheduled to be deleted in the coming days will be placed in the Backorder section of Hepsia and you'll be able to browse them in alphabetical order. To narrow the number, you will be able to search by an exact phrase, set the minimum and maximum number of characters your domain should contain, and choose a particular extension. You'll also be able to search through domain names by the date they will be deleted. Since there is no 100% guarantee that we'll be able to register a particular domain name, in case our attempt is unsuccessful, the money for that domain name will be available as a credit within your account and will not be wasted.

Domain Backorder in Dedicated Hosting

Since we are a licensed registrar company, we've included a backorder section in the billing Control Panel of our dedicated servers, so you can take full advantage of this service quick and easy without having to open a separate account. When you go to this section, you will find a full list of the domains that will become available in the following 5 days. Thanks to the filters we've added, you can browse domains which will be erased on a given date, and pick their extension and length. In addition, you can browse by a specific phrase or use a dictionary option which will filter all domains that are just random groups of letters and numbers. It takes just a mouse click to make a backorder for any domain from the list and if we register it successfully, you shall be able to manage it instantly from the same Control Panel. In case somebody else takes the wanted domain, the money will be added as credit to your account and will not be wasted.
