Frequently Asked Questions: Backorders
What does it cost to place a backorder?
The starting price for placing a backorder depends on the TLD. Generally they start at 50 euros but for .me the backorders start at 100 euros while for .io at 120 euros.
How can I place a backorder?
You must be a registered user and have completed your billing information. Once done so, you can place a backorder by going to our backorder's page.
If I place a backorder, does that mean that once it is available the domain will be mine?
Placing a backorder for a domain name through DropCatch.ai does not guarantee successful registration of the domain once it becomes available.
What happens if more than one person backorders a domain?
If more than one backorder is placed on the same domain, DropCatch.ai initiates an auction process for that domain.
Why do you auction backordered domains?
The intent behind transitioning multiple backorders into an auction is to determine the market value of the domain transparently and equitably. It also ensures that the domain is awarded to the party willing to make the highest investment in securing it.
I want to cancel my backorder. How can I?
Backorders can only be cancelled in some exceptional cases by contacting the support team. Please note that it has to be at least 24 hours before the domain is to expire.
