Hello,

I am looking to put a backorder on a couple names already expired in the registry but have not been released. There are several services which will put a backorder. So,
1. which are the best (pricing, service, timeliness, etc.,)
2. if they donot get the name snapped and someone else registers before me or if the same person renews it - will any of these services then refund the money?
3. additional tips, experiences, etc.,

thanks in advance.

snapnames.com and namewinner.com are a couple that you may want to check out

snapnames will not refund the money if they are not successful, but they allow you to monitor another name in its replacement.

namewinner is an auction style system in which you only pay if they are successful.

Does anyone gives the money back, if the name is not snatched/registered?

namewinner & nicgenie are bid based drop domain catch services. You pay only when they get domain for u......

I don't quite like nicgenie bidding system & name drops... also, namewinner sucks @ support.

ps. heard that namewinner is not doing that good as it used to do.
pss. snapnames rock

No, but you can get to use your "Snap" for a year and can transfer it to another domain.
