No. First person to backorder gets it.

If someone places a backorder, Go Daddy wouldn't accept another order.

it doesn't worth to backorder @ godaddy , no catching at ALL unless no one is after the domain

use snapnames.com / pool.com / clubdrop.com and _maybe_ namewinner.com

Should I backorder it from the current registar?

tucows has the name right now, will they have an advantage?

few registrars only partnered with some drop services and its 100% sure the registrar will get it.

not sure if opensrs have this service, but check with em

I cant find anything on the tucows website for back ordering a domain name.

GoDaddy's backorder feature worked a treat on a name we wanted. Just had the confirmation come through on that last night so I'm happy with it. ;)

Well I just checked and godaddy already has the name on back order. so I cant back order it there.

So, should I backorder it at both Pool.com and SnapNames.com ?

If I do place a backorder at either place, and they capture the name, But I dont win the auction, will I still pay the $60.00 fee ?


thanks,

i reckon a godaddy backorder in place will win it's like paper over stone. as soon as it changes it'll get snapped by gd. imho

If you don't get the domain then you won't pay $60 to Pool and Snapnames. I would recommend to backorder atleast at Pool as Pool recently acquired backorder acquisition of more than 50 registrars recently, therefore more chances of getting the domain.

enom clubdrop been beating them all for me, especially when it comes to a domain i want and not wanted by everyone

i backordered 2 domains few days ago and i'm almost positive no one is after it from all places (except godaddy) and enom got them for me

it seems pool/snapnames are after names which bring them more cash in auction first then the rest of domains

correct and maybe that is why Enom club drop is not catching big domains for a few weeks lately.
