How GoDaddy Domain Name Backorders Work - DNHour


Before GoDaddy launched its domain name aftermarket TDNAM, I used to backorder a number of domains from the registrar. They were fairly good at grabbing expired domains, especially non-.coms. But then the company started sending its own expired domains to auction at TNDAM, which seems to conflict with placing a backorder.

I placed a backorder a couple months ago for a domain at GoDaddy that was expiring. After the grace period I received an e-mail stating that the domain was going to auction at TDNAM and that a $10 bid had been made on my behalf. A backorder costs $18.95, and if no one else bid on the domain then I would get it for that price ($10 plus $8.95).
