When a domain name expires, there's a time period of a little over eight weeks when it's not active, but may still be renewed by the current user. During this time period, the domain cannot be taken by anybody else, but if it isn't renewed, it goes into the so-called Pending Deletion period which lasts five 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 try to register it for the customer the moment it is deleted and available to the public, which gives people the chance to acquire a short and easy to remember domain which may have been used by another person until now. In case the domain is quite attractive, several companies may try to register it in the same time and since this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there is no warranty that a specific person will have that domain name. Nonetheless, employing a backorder service will give you a better chance to acquire a particular domain than when you attempt to register it yourself.
Domain Backorder in Shared Hosting
You will be able to backorder domains from your Hepsia Control Panel since our company is a partner of an ICANN-certified registrar company and we offer this service as a part of all shared hosting plans. This way, you won't need a separate account and you'll be able to manage the newly obtained domain name as well as the hosting space for it in one place. The service has its own part in the Control Panel where you will discover all domains due to be erased in the following 5 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. What's more, you'll be able to search exclusively for domain names which include dictionary words or set a phrase of your choosing. Buying a domain from the list will take you just a click and in case we are unable to register the desired name, the money won't be wasted and you will be able to use it for domain name registrations, renewals and / or backorders later on.
Domain Backorder in Semi-dedicated Servers
We have decided to add a domain name backorder service to the Hepsia Control Panel that is available with all semi-dedicated server accounts, so you won't need to sign up for a separate platform. This service will enable you to register a domain name and host it in one place. All of the domain names planned to be deleted in the coming days will be listed in the Backorder section of Hepsia and you will be able to browse them in alphabetical order. To reduce the number, you will be able to search by a specific phrase, determine the minimum and maximum number of characters your domain name should contain, and select a particular extension. You'll also be able to browse through domains by the date they will be erased. As there is no 100% guarantee that we'll be able to register a particular domain name, if our attempt is not successful, the money for that domain name will be available as a credit inside your account and will not be lost.
Domain Backorder in VPS Servers
As we work with an ICANN-authorized registrar, we offer a domain backorder service with all our hosting packages, which includes the VPS servers. You will find the full list of all domain names which will be erased in the following days in your VPS billing Control Panel and placing an order for any of them will take you a single click. Because the list is quite large, we've included several filters that will make it easier to find appropriate domain names - choose the domain extension and the minimum/maximum length, check the domain names that will be deleted on a particular date, view only domain names that include dictionary words or enter a string of characters of your choice. As backordering a domain does not guarantee that we'll be able to register it, you will still be able to use the money from the order for different other services in case that the registration attempt is not successful.
Domain Backorder in Dedicated Servers
In case you have a dedicated server from our company, you shall be able to backorder a domain from the comfort of your billing Control Panel and will not have to subscribe for a different platform since we partner with an ICANN-certified registrar. An entire section in the Control Panel is dedicated to this specific service and you will find a long list of all domains scheduled to be erased there. Using the filters which we have added to save you time, you could select to see domains from a specific date, to set the maximum and minimum length and to select an extension, thus narrowing the list you'll need to go through. In addition, you can enter a specific phrase or select to see domains that include dictionary words and are not only a random mix of letters and numbers. It takes just a mouse click to order any domain from the list and in case we are not able to register it before somebody else does that, you won't lose your money and it will be added as a credit to your account.
