Customers can place a backorder for a desired domain name that has passed its expiration date and is pending renewal or deletion. If yours is the only backorder for a particular domain name, and the service is successful in obtaining the registration for you through the backorder, you will only pay the minimum bid price for the domain name registration. If there is more than one backorder for a domain name, all customers with a backorder on the domain name will be entered into a brief auction where they can set the maximum price they are willing to pay for the domain.
