Someone else owns it but you want it.
If the name you want is already registered, you can still own it!
Secure your chance to snag up a domain* the instant it becomes available.
Domains are forever (except when they’re not).
Every year, there are thousands of domains that expire and don’t get renewed for one reason or another. If any of those are the domain you’re after, that’s when we swoop in and get it for you. We can do it with any .com, .co, .info, .org, .net, .me, .mobi, .us or .biz address.
Go for the win.
Your dream domain could be someone else’s, too. If someone else wants the same domain you do, we’ll let you know. At that point, it goes up for auction. You can either bid to win or pass — it’s your call. Either way, someone new is getting that domain.
Get more from your credit.
Did you place the winning bid? If so, you’re now the proud owner of your dream domain. If you didn’t, you can transfer your backorder credits to another domain. They’ll never expire.
What is a domain backorder, anyway?
You know those little numbered tickets that you get at a supermarket? A domain backorder is kind of like that.
If a previously owned domain becomes available, you’re in line to get it. Of course, there’s a little more to it than that.
