How to BACKORDER ?

smak786110 · 08-25-2007, 10:09 AM

I am hearing when some domain is about to expire...They backorder it...
First, what exactly is Back Ordering and Who can back order it ?
Second, How to back order it ?

godaddy have a backorder service, but IMHO it is a waste of time.

so, AFAIK, you best bet is to consult this list:
http://www.whois-search.com/deleting/who.php

To see who is best for the registrar the name is at, and then go put a bid on the name, and cross your fingers non of the millionaire bidders have noticed the name is dropping.

ammm......
So you mean godaddy back-order is useless ?

In my experience yes it's useless, but some NP'ers have reported success with it, there's a decent thread on it here:

Not, not 100% useless... use godaddy back-order if the name you want is expiring at godaddy or at a wildwest reseller. Otherwise, other dropcatchers are a better bet.

I don't understand pool.com backordering. I added some domains to backorder, waited for the expire date to pass and they didn't email me or anything saying I won/lost or have to bid for it.

What's up with that?

Snapnames is best i hear?
also if someone else backorder the same domain u gotta bid on it

I use snapnames 95% of the time but if I really want a chance at it I use pool as a backup.

Yes backordering at 2 places is worth (if u r badly in love with the name)

I am a newbie at this so I had no idea what back ordering was. Although I might not try that service unless I want the domain badly enough. Nice to meet you all.

But I think getting a domain from a back order or a domain which was in use..is much more better than registering a brand new name.....Isnt it ?
Especially for newbies ?

You can get steady traffic, plus a good name sometimes !

Yes, I agree with you. BUT you must find the best name from the best source and back order it with the right place!
