Domain Backorder

When a domain expires, there's a time period of a little over two months when it's inactive, but could still be renewed by the current user. During this time period, the domain cannot be taken by anybody else, but in case it is not renewed, it goes into the so-called Pending Deletion period that lasts 5 days. This is the time when ICANN-accredited registrar companies accept backorders for such domains. If a specific name is backordered, the registrar will try to register it for the customer as soon as it's deleted and accessible to the public, which gives people the chance to get a short and memorable domain which may have been employed by another person up until this moment. In the event that the domain is very appealing, a number of companies may try to register it in the same time and due to the fact that this happens on a first-come, first-serve basis, there's no warranty that a particular person will have that domain name. Nonetheless, employing a backorder service will give you a much better chance to get a particular domain than if you attempt to register it manually.
