Domain backorder is a service offered by ICANN-licensed providers and it's the best way to acquire a good domain that was owned by some third party and was left to expire. When the registration period of an Internet site has expired, the aforementioned becomes inactive, but is not erased right away. Instead, the owner has a couple of months to renew it. Provided this doesn't happen, the domain name enters a deletion period which continues about 5 days and then it is deleted, so everyone could register it. The backorder service allows you to make an order for such a domain with a registrar company and they'll make an effort to register it instantly right after it is on the market. Thus, you can get a brief and attractive domain for your Internet site and although these domains are registered on a first -come, first-serve basis and there isn't any guarantee that you will acquire the desired domain name, using a computerized system provides you with a better chance than if you keep checking if the domain is erased and attempt to obtain it yourself.
