When a domain name expires, there's a time period of a little over 60 days when it's inactive, but can still be renewed by its current user. During this period, the domain cannot be taken by anybody else, but in case it is not renewed, it enters the so-called Pending Deletion period that lasts five days. This is when ICANN-accredited registrar companies take backorders for this type of domain names. When a particular name is backordered, the registrar will try to register it for the customer right after it's deleted and available to the general public, which gives people the opportunity to obtain a short and easy to remember domain that may have been employed by somebody else up to now. If the domain is rather appealing, a number of companies could try to register it in the same time and because this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there's no warranty that a specific person will get that domain name. However, employing a backorder service will give you a much better chance to get a specific domain than when you try to register it personally.

Domain Backorder in Shared Web Hosting

As we partner with an ICANN-authorized company, we provide domain name backorders with all shared web hosting plans, so you will not need to sign up for an additional account. An individual section inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to browse all the domain names that will be erased in the following days and we've added several filters that will enable you to narrow your search. You can input any word or phrase, set the minimum and maximum number of characters, select an exact deletion date or select the extensions that should be viewable. Using the filters will save you time and efforts and if you discover a domain name that you'd like to have, you can place your order for it with a click. In case we are not able to register the chosen name, you will not lose the money you've paid and you will be able to order other domain names with it - new registrations or backorders.
