GoDaddy Backorder Question

[Pandarian]

1. I heard that if a domain registerd under godaddy its easy to backorder the domain through godaddy more than the pool, enom or snapnames. is it true?
   
   
2. If so, Today i try to backorder 3 charactor .com domain which is registerd under godaddy. when i try it says "backorder allready in progress or somthing like that". i try to backorder another 3 charactor domain and it accpeted the backorder without any error. it means only 1 person can backorder a domain from godaddy. E.g:- aaa.com backorderd by john. then am i not able to backorder it through godaddy?
   
3. Will I get the domain? how to get it?

That's how backorder works. I don't think Godaddy can get a domain more easily than Pool or others, especialy .com. In fact, Godaddy is the worst :imho:
If they can get those domain, I think they will give to the first order, or maybe those name will go to auction.
You'd better to place backorder as many registrar as you can => increase chance to have you favorite domain.

If it's expiring through GoDaddy then it will hit TDNAM. So your best bet is to try and snatch it through there if its an expiring domain.

If the domain is registered at one of GoDaddys registrars (BlueRazor, GoDaddy, WildWestDomains) than essentially a backorder will act as the first bid when the domain name goes to TDNAM.

Backordering domain names at GoDaddy is not a good choice. The only success they have is with catching .us domain names. Consider snap names uses 30 different registrars to capture expiring domain names, Godaddy only has 1/10 of the capabilities.

GoDaddy also focuses on their own domain names (considering they have the most anyway). Dont bother with a backorder, just wait for the domain to go to TDNAm and a few minutes before the auction ends, place a bid. Dont do it before, you will simply make it easier for other domainers to find that domain names and outbid you.

It's first come first served. If it's a godaddy name and you back order it, then you will put it on the radar for other domainers.

As was said above, your best bet is to track it and bid at www.tdnam.com.

I think back ordering is really pointless. you would be better to contact the owner and tell them you want to buy it. other wise chances are the person like the name an want to keep it. if they do let it go your chances of getting the domain name are very little.
contact the owner this is your best bet.

well a decent owner will not let a XXX $ domain expire dude.

these domains generally expire when their owners are no longer reachable or have left computers etc altogether

that backorder will do no good if the owner renews anyway he gets first option for it. Don't cross your fingers on anything good being let go that way.
