I NEED This Domain - Help Me Get It Please

Hi,

I don't think it's likely that they could do that, because there are many different places to find out who owns the web site.

If there's nothing on there at the moment, you could approach the site owner. You never know, they could just be looking to flip it, in which case, it might cost you a little more, but they've still made the profit on it.

I know I wasn't much help, but I hope you get it in the end.

Yep they bought it and wanted to flip it last year for $400 or so. While I need the domain I decided that I could wait them out and use another approach.

domain whether it is meaningful to you?
if I were you
I'll add a bit of affixes
seem like
yourdomain dot com
be
your-domain dot com

i hope my answere helpfull :p

depending on where it was registered, the domain could be up for auction during the expiration process. There are a couple of sites that do a auction like this: Namejet, Godaddy.

I've used NameJet to purchase quite a few pr5 sites and it's worked out pretty good.

You can also go to melbourneit and enter the domain name there, then click the "Express your interest" link and fill out the form for when the domain becomes available.

I had a similar situation with a domain that I let expire and wanted to get it back - It was being parked, and they wanted $1200 for it (forget that!). I just checked back periodically, and eventually the domain went back on the market and I grabbed it for $10

I'd say just get on the phone and call GoDaddy and ask them what to do. They are a huge company and will probably have a system in place for things like this. Once you get the domain name you can change your registrar at any time.

Mark, if you want PM me the domain and I can see who is behind it and wether its another domainer or a real user for the domain. And no GD wont jack up the price do to whois lookups.....

What is your process for handling expired domain names? | Go Daddy Help | Go Daddy Support

Mark, you can "Backorder" the domain you want at GD. It will cost you about $21. If the domain owner lets it expire you will get it before someone else has the chance. This will keep it from going to auction as well as long as no one else has a backorder on it. If you don't get it (owner renews it) you can let your backorder stay in effect for later or use it on another domain.

Go to GD and under the domain tab look for "domain backorders".

I recommend you contact the owner, make a who is search and there is the email throught you can contact the owner

If the owner doesn't reply you, then buy a backorder

I think there were enough gems dropped in this thread to help you out

Thank you all for the suggestions. This is the first time I've ever been in this situation so it's really helpful to be able to come and get this advice. In the past I've always either bought the domain because it was available or moved on but this is a bit different.

Jill, after it was registered by the other company last year I have moved on and it isn't holding everything back but is holding back a tiny part. I appreciate your encouragement because that is exactly what I tell other people who let the lack of the perfect something (domain, theme, script, etc.) hold them back.

Mark

actually they are using backorder process before expires they order that domain...so if the user unable to renew that domain was sold out to the person who back order the domain.....so i think if you want to backorder the domain before someone does..i suggest you XnYnZ.com this provider can do the domain backordering service check your domain how registered the domain in back order processing..........

So if multiple people backorder the same domain using the same domain registration service (aka, 3 people backorder a domain), who gets it?

First come, first served?

I think in domain buying process,First come first get served.

Hi Mark,

I have backordered a few domains. In the past GoDaddy’s backorder worked pretty good for me, if the domain was registered with them to start with. I would backorder the expiring domain and they would simply put it in my account after the grace period. I guess there were no other backorders with GD and they did not send it back to the open market for other registrars.

However, 5 days ago I received an e-mail from GoDaddy’s monitoring service (this service is included with the backorder) that a domain I had on backorder was PENDINGDELETE. This did not happen on my previous backorders.

It was registered with GoDaddy and I had it backordered with GoDaddy, but for whatever reason it went through the expired grace period, the redemption period, and all the way to PENDINGDELETE.

It never went to auction and was not assigned to me.

So this morning I placed a backorder with snapnames.com and namejet.com
I read on a few sites that they drop on the open market sometime after 2 PM ET.
SnapNames sent me an e-mail about 3:15 PM, they got it for me.

Good Luck, JEFF

PS - This domain is just for a hobby site, so I thought about trying to hand/manually register it when it dropped.
But I missed out on this exact domain a few years back trying to do that.
