Domain Name Backorder Rules — GoDaddy Changing

Domain Name Backorder Rules — GoDaddy Changing

Multiple backorders will be accepted on domain names.

GoDaddy has informed Reglike that it is changing the way it handles backorders for domains not registered at one of The Go Daddy Group’s domain name registrars.

As early as next week GoDaddy will begin accepting more than one backorder on domain names. (Right now only one is accepted). If GoDaddy successfully captures the domain name and more than one backorder was placed, there will be an auction on TDNAM for the domain. Only the people that backordered the domain can participate in the auction.

The fresh system will be somewhat similar to a non-exclusive backorder on SnapNames. Still, GoDaddy will still charge an upfront $18.95 fee for your backorder. If GoDaddy doesn’t capture the expiring domain name or you don’t win the auction, you can transfer your backorder to a different domain name.

A GoDaddy representative states the firm is making this change based on client feedback. Existing backorders will not be affected by this change. Note that the fresh policy does not apply to domains expiring from a GoDaddy registrar, which will continue to be auctioned at TDNAM.
