When a domain name expires, there's a period of a little over eight weeks when it's not active, but may still be renewed by the current user. 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 which lasts 5 days. This is when ICANN-accredited registrar firms take backorders for these domains. When a given name is backordered, the registrar will try to register it for the customer immediately after it is deleted and accessible to the general public, which gives people the option to acquire a short and memorable domain that may have been used by another person until now. If the domain is really attractive, a couple of companies may try to register it in the same time and because this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there is no warranty that a particular person will get that domain. Nonetheless, employing a backorder service will give you a much better chance to acquire a specific domain than when you try to register it manually.

Domain Backorder in Cloud Website Hosting

You'll be able to backorder domains from your Hepsia Control Panel as we partner with an ICANN-certified registrar company and we provide the service as part of all cloud website hosting plans. Because of this, you shall not need an individual account and you'll be able to control the newly bought domain and the hosting space for it in a single place. The service has its own section in the Control Panel where you'll find all domains due to be erased within 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. What's more, you'll be able to search exclusively for domains that contain dictionary words or set a phrase of your choice. Purchasing a domain name from the list will take you just a mouse click and if we are not able to register the desired name, the money will not be lost and you shall be able to use it for domain name registrations, renewals or backorders afterwards.

Domain Backorder in Semi-dedicated Servers

We've decided to add a domain backorder service to the Hepsia Control Panel which is available with all semi-dedicated server accounts, so you shall not need to sign up for a separate platform. The service will enable you to register a domain name and host it in one place. All domains planned to be erased in the coming days will be placed in the Backorder section of Hepsia and you can browse them in alphabetical order. To narrow the number, you will be able to search by a particular phrase, specify the minimum and maximum number of characters your domain should contain, and select a particular extension. You'll also be able to browse 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, if our attempt is unsuccessful, the funds 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-authorized registrar, we offer a domain backorder service with all our web hosting packages, including the VPS servers. You will find the complete list of all domains that will be erased in the following days in your VPS billing Control Panel and making an order for any of them will take you one click. As the list is pretty large, we have included a few filters which will make it easier to find appropriate domain names - choose the domain name extension and the minimum/maximum length, check the domains which will be erased on a particular date, view only domain names that include dictionary words or enter a string of characters of your choosing. As backordering a domain doesn't guarantee that we'll be able to register it, you will still be able to use the funds from the order for other services in case that the registration attempt is unsuccessful.

Domain Backorder in Dedicated Servers

In case you have a dedicated server from our company, you'll be able to backorder a domain right from your billing Control Panel and will never need to subscribe for another platform since we partner with an ICANN-licensed registrar. An entire section in the Control Panel is focused on this particular service and you'll find a list of all domains scheduled to be erased there. Thanks to the filters which we have added to save your efforts and time, you'll be able to choose to view domain names from a specific date, to set the maximum and minimum length and to select an extension, thus narrowing the list you will need to look through. It's also possible to enter a specific phrase or select to view domains that contain dictionary words and are not just a random combination of letters and numbers. It takes only a click to order any domain in the list and if we are not able to register it before someone else does that, you will not lose the money as it will be added as a credit to your account.
