Hey!

I need to back order a domain which is currently
registered with 123-reg.co.uk.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether
there is a specific site I need to back order with,
or if trying to back order the domain with as many
services as possible is the best way to go?

Thanks!

Yes, it is. Backorder with the big three : snapnames, pool, and namejet

Thanks for the response :)

unfortunately namejet don't deal with the co.uk domain extension so hopefully one of the other two will be successful in picking up my domain!

As far as I know 123-reg.co.uk are operated by Tucows Inc

They sometimes keep the names for themselves if they think it is any good, maybe it will go to their auction ?? (not sure where that is)

Here's a recent comment from The general manager of Tucows on dotweekly.com

Hi *****,

I’m the General Manager of the Tucows Domain Portfolio and also oversee the Tucows auction.

Glad to hear you’re a fan of our auction.

Not all of the expired names end up in the Tucows auction. Some names are renewed by the original registrant before they reach the auction, and some of the names are retained by Tucows for our own portfolio (although we still allow the orginal registrant to reinstate the domain name if they want to). In other words, we go out of our way to protect the rights of the orginal registrant.

One final thing to keep in mind: expired names only start to show up in the Tucows auction approximately 32 days after they have expired.

Cheers, Bill


Looks like this is their auction site - https://ddirect.domainauctionservice.com/?action=main_menu

Shall keep an eye on that :)

I hope they don't hold onto it for their own personal portfolio!
