What is a Domain Name Backorder
A Domain Backorder is a specialized service that attempts to reserve a domain name that is already registered, expired, or deleted. The Vodien Backorder system monitors the domain and attempts to register it as soon as it becomes available.
If the domain expires within the time frame specified for your backorder and the current owner does not renew it, our system will attempt to register the domain on your behalf.
Does a backorder guarantee you'll get the domain
No. A domain backorder increases your chances of acquiring a domain name, but it does not guarantee that the domain will be registered successfully.
A backorder may be unsuccessful in the following situations:
- The current registrant renews the domain before it becomes available.
- Other providers are also attempting to register the same domain when it is released.
- Another party successfully registers the domain first.
Because multiple backorder providers may compete for the same domain, registration generally follows a first come, first served principle.
What happens if your backorder is successful
The success of a backorder depends on whether the current owner allows the domain to expire or deletes it.
Once the domain becomes available, our system will attempt to secure it for you. If successful, the domain will be registered to you free of charge for one year.
What happens if your backorder is unsuccessful
If the domain you want is not yet available for public registration, you may renew your backorder service for as long and as often as needed.
When you place a backorder, you are paying Vodien to monitor the domain and attempt to secure it as soon as it becomes available. Please note that this service is non-refundable, regardless of the outcome.
