A name I want to buy is expiring - What do I do next

[staffjam]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a name i know will be expiring. It's doesn't really have a meaning to anyone so i'm not expecting anyone else to bid on it or ask for it.
What do i need to do? And who is a good company to use?
Do you know if this is something GoDaddy can do?

Thanks for any advice.

backorder them at namejet, pool n snapnames if u really wanna get it.
DO NOT backorder wif godaddy. its useless.Waste of money

Yea you have to backorder so you know your going to get it when ever it expires. I agree with malaysia do not use godaddy way to much money.

Agree with all of you. I used Godaddy to backorder some dictionary words (not common words). Eventually I know, I wasted my $$$$

When i buy my domains i use 1and1 they are usually cheap and now they are having this sale where your domain is $6.99 for the whole year. So its a really good deal.
