Back Ordering Domain Names

Back Ordering Domains

1. You can wait for the domain to become fully expired, and then register it then. Unfortunately though, somebody else may (probably will if it's a good domain) beat you to it, even if only by seconds and get the domain for themselves.
   
   
2. You can "back order" the domain. What happens when you back order a domain is that you pay a service to try and register the domain on using a fast automated service as soon as it becomes available. While this doesn't guarantee that you will get the domain (because other people might be trying to back order it too), it does greatly increase your chances.
