Setting up Domain Alert Pro Backordering

If you want to capture a domain name that someone else currently has registered, you can place a backorder. Domain Alert® Pro Backordering attempts to register the domain name if it becomes available. Or, if the domain name is listed for auction, Domain Alert Pro Backordering provides you with instructions on how to participate.

When you configure a backorder, you can set it as public or private. Private backorders protect your personal information by not listing it in the Whois database.

If the backorder is not successful, you can reassign it to another domain name or request a refund from our support team.

To Set Up Domain Alert Pro Backordering

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. In the My Products section, click Domain Manager.
3. From Buy/Sell, select Backorders and Monitoring.
4. Click Add Backorders.
5. Complete the following, and then click Next:
   • Backorder type — A Public backorder lists your personal contact information in the Whois database, while a Private backorder does not. Private publishes proxy contact information to the Whois database.
   • I have read and agree to — Select to indicate that you read and agree to the Domain Name Backordering and Monitoring Agreement.
6. Enter the domain name(s) you want to backorder, one domain name per line, and then click Next.
7. Complete the following, and then click Next:
   • Email address 1 — The email address where we send status-change notifications.
   • Email address 2 (Optional) — A secondary email address where we send status-change notifications.
8. Review the contact information to be used to register the backordered domain name, make any necessary changes, and then click Next.
9. From the Number of credits to use list, select the number of credits you want to apply, and then click Next.

   NOTE: The credits in the list are the number you have available for the transaction. If you do not have enough credits, we take you to the Shopping Cart to complete the purchase. To complete setting up the backorder, continue through the checkout process.

10. If you selected Private backorder, complete the following:
    • Use existing account — If you already have an account with Domains By Proxy®, enter your user ID and password for the account.
    • Create account — If you do not have an account, we request a Domains By Proxy account for you. After creating your account, Domains By Proxy emails you the user name and password for your new account. Please retain this information for future reference!
    • I have read the Domain Name Proxy Agreement — Select if you read and agree to the Domain Name Proxy Agreement.
11. Click OK.
