Domain Backorders

After a domain finishes the expiration and redemption process, it’s “dropped” and made available for new registration.

You can place a domain backorder in advance, and our system will try to register it for you the moment it’s released. If successful, the domain is automatically added to your account. Check our backorder help page for more details.

This page shows domains that are close to fully expiring and available for backorder. You can place a request at no cost, and our system will try to catch the domain for you.

If you're the only one who requested it and we succeed, the domain will be added to your account and you’ll be charged only if the backorder is successful.

If multiple users place a domain backorder request on a single domain, it will enter a backorder auction. This domain will be then available for bidding by all eligible Dynadot users who want to participate.

Our domain backorder auction functions the same way as our regular domain auctions. Visit our help article to learn more about backorder auctions.

Placing a backorder request is a great way to try and add a domain to your Dynadot account, but if you're looking to monitor domains of interest that perhaps haven't expired yet or keep track of another domain's information, you can use our Watchlist tool.

It will let you monitor any domain name directly from your Dynadot account, regardless of where it's registered and who owns it.
