Expired Domain Status

[ttown]

I'm try to acquire my first two domain names, and I need help deciding what to do. The domains that I want have expired, but I'm not sure when to backorder. More info and expiration dates are here:

Domain Backorder

From what I have heard, if two backorders are placed with the same service, the first one placed has an advantage.

I would put in the backorder right away and I would put it in with more than one service if you really, really want to get the best chance of getting them. They may not be worth that to you, but if they are it can help your chances.

Keep in mind that the domain owner has 30 days after the expiration date to renew them.
