When a domain expires, there's a period of a little over eight weeks when it is not active, but could still be renewed by the current owner. During this time, the domain cannot be taken by anybody else, but if it is not renewed, it enters the so-called Pending Deletion period which lasts 5 days. This is when ICANN-accredited registrar companies accept backorders for these domains. If a particular name is backordered, the registrar will attempt to register it for the customer as soon as it's deleted and available to the public, which gives people an opportunity to acquire a short and easy to remember domain which may have been used by somebody else until now. In the event that the domain is very attractive, a couple of companies may try to register it in the same time and since this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there's no guarantee that a specific person will get that domain name. However, using a backorder service will give you a lot better chance to end up getting a specific domain than when you attempt to register it yourself.

Domain Backorder in Shared Website Hosting

All shared website hosting plans that we offer come with a domain backorder service as a standard as we work with an ICANN-approved domain registrar. You can order a domain from your Hepsia Control Panel where you will see a list of all domains planned to be deleted in the next several days. Handy filters will help you to narrow the list, so rather than going through thousands of names, you could search for a certain phrase, specify the extension as well as the length, or browse only domain names which will be deleted on a particular date. The filters will save you considerable time and placing a backorder will take you only one click. In case we acquire the domain name that you'd like to have, it'll be available inside your Control Panel instantly. In case we aren't successful, the money for it will be available in your account and you will be able to use it for other domains - new registrations, renewals or backorders.

Domain Backorder in Semi-dedicated Servers

We've decided to include a domain name backorder service to the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with all semi-dedicated server accounts, so you won't need to subscribe to a separate platform. The service will enable you to register a domain name and host it from a single place. All the domains planned to be deleted in the following days will be placed in the Backorder section of Hepsia and you will be able to browse them from a to z. To reduce the number, you may search by an exact phrase, set the minimum and maximum number of characters the domain name should contain, and choose a given extension. You'll also be able to browse through domain names by the exact date they'll be deleted. Because there is no 100% guarantee that we shall be able to register a given domain name, if our attempt is not successful, the money for that domain name will be available as a credit within your account and will not be lost.

Domain Backorder in VPS Servers

Because we work with an ICANN-licensed registrar, we offer a domain name backorder service for all our internet hosting packages, which includes the VPS servers. You'll find the complete list of all domain names which will be deleted in the following days inside your VPS billing Control Panel and placing an order for any of them will take you one click. As the list is very large, we have added a few filters which will allow you to find appropriate domain names - choose the domain name extension and the minimum/maximum length, check the domains which will be deleted on a certain date, view only domains which contain dictionary words or enter a string of characters of your choice. As backordering a domain does not guarantee that we will be able to register it, you'll still be able to use the money from the order for other services in case that the registration attempt is unsuccessful.

Domain Backorder in Dedicated Servers

A domain name backorder section is available in the billing Control Panel of the dedicated servers that we offer because we are a certified registrar company. The service will enable you to discover good domains without registering for a different platform and you shall be able to place an order with only a click. All domains that will be deleted in the following days will be listed in that section and you shall be able to set various filters so as to narrow the list and browse only domains which interest you - minimum/maximum length, the deletion date, extension, etc. In addition, you'll be able to browse only domain names which contain dictionary words or ones which contain a phrase that you insert, thus saving the time and efforts to browse through lots of random names. In case you order a given domain and we cannot register it, we'll credit your account and you will not lose your money.
