GoDaddy Questions

[nts]

I have my eye on a desirable name in redemption period at GoDaddy.

What would be the best way to get a hold of this name, should it not be renewed?

I'm assuming a godaddy backorder should do it. Also, will the name go into TDNAM, even if a backorder is placed?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks

if i remember right, a backorder will send the domain to tdnam...

Its all going to depend on when the domain actually expires. All domains go to TDNAM from GoDaddy. The question is where in the process is the domain... and if it was already won at TDNAM - you have no chance to get this domain name unless the original owner redeems it.

So, whats the expirationdate?

If no body bid on it, then it will go thru the normal drop process, so that is another option as well.

I've tried the backorder twice, first time it worked fine and I got the name, second time around I didn't. Never got any notice of TDNAM bids either (the first time I was lucky and nobody bid..) I guess it's definitely worth putting in the backorder, they do give you credit for another if you do not win the name

Alright, so the domain will go into TDNAM whether or not I place the backorder? However, the backorder works as a bid on TDNAM, am I right so far?

The domain has already expired, pending renewal. It's not in TDNAM yet.

I believe 12 days after expiration is when the domain name goes to TDNAM for approximately 10 days. A backorder placed before the auction - results in the first bid. A backorder placed durring the auction acts as a "hidden" backorder, in which the domain will go to that person if no bid is placed on the domain name. If the domain escapes TDNAM, although this is not confirmed, I believe GoDaddy does keep some of the domain names, ones that have recieved clicks and potentially are valueable.

If not, they drop, just like any other. Be prepared to compete with Snap for the drops, they seem to get quite a few of GoDaddy's left overs.

Correct. If a name is registered by a godaddy registrar (godaddy, wildwest, bluerazor), it will go to tdnam sometime near the end of redemption (last 7-14 days?).

If there is a GD backorder, it counts as an opening bid and can act to flag the bid in TDNAM as something desirable. If no backorder, it presumably goes to the $5 auctions for week or so I think. If still no takers, it drops for other registrars to access.

My advice is that if you really want it and it's a Godaddy registered name, either bid high on tdnam,try to snipe the bid in the last few minutes to limit competitors, or put in a backorder elsewhere. Doing a godaddy BO only flags the domain and puts a small bid that can be outbid. I only use GD BO for non-GD domains, and tdnam for GD names with a backup of the other drop services.

Great, thanks for all the advice!
