I want to buy an expired domain, I was the owner and forgot to renewed it and then grabbed by someone. And now it's expired since 2 weeks ago and I want to get it back.

I know Pool.com, snapnames.com and godaddy.com. Any idea what else? I want to use ALL domain grabber service in this world so can maximize the opportunity to win.

Also, anybody can explain if godaddy.com charged fee whether they success or not grabe the domain or just charge us if they can grab it?

Thanks alot in advance.

With Go Daddy you pay the fee for the Domain Backorder credit at the time you purchase the credit. If we are unable to capture the domain for you, you can request a refund from our support department or apply your backorder credit to another domain name. There is no time limit for backorder reassignment, and the product does not expire.

Another one is NameJet

Where is it registered? If it's registered at GoDaddy, you should visit their GoDaddy Auctions, because (I forget the exact dates) they will offer your domain for auction from about day 27 after expiry for about 10 days. Needless to say you should bid only just before the last three minutes of the auction.

I wouldn't really bother with a GoDaddy Backorder. They are not very good at capturing domains unless they drop and aren't immediately picked up by a drop-catcher.

Since it is still recently expired, you would be better off buying the domain in a Pre-Release Auction. But we need to know where it is registered. If at GoDaddy, then what I described above would be GoDaddy's version of a Pre-Release auction.
