I'm stumped. I'm not so sure what is the answer to that question. I'll do some investigation and get back to you if I discover an anything. You should email the people at Godaddy as they probably could help you..

Godaddy will not refund (or credit) any money if you backorder a HostGator and do not get the domain...

SnapNames and Pool only require you pay if you get the domain. If more than one person backorders it, it goes to auction where you bid against the other people that also wanted it. For three letter dot coms, you can pick them up cheaper than trying to buy them (usually). The only thing I don't particularly like is the fact they get registered at the place where the HostGator was registered before it expired. So if you backorder 10 domains, you might end up with 1 HostGator at 10 different registrars...

I do not trust to any backordering. Waste of money...

Snap Names worked for me. But of course there were so many "other" Bidders.

I didnt get the domain, Which had I just let it drop, I prob would have got it..

Just My 2 cents of course.....

Ive picked up 2 3-letter domains at snapnames and enom, both have been perfect experiences. No Problems at all...

Almost all the domains I want I at least get an auction (I register all domains at Pool and SnapNames. One of the two gets them). I usually get outbidded because some I am only interested in if I get them at $60. If I get all the domains I have back ordered for just $60, I would owe $1.4 million dollars. I won't get them all, but even if I did, I would have one heck of a portfolio to get the money...

All I can say about those backordering sites that they realy have good insider bidders..

Almost no chance that you'll get your backorder without any bidders...

I'v got at least 7 keyword domains at snapnames without having to bid, I think the problem is there are so many good names dropping (quite often from people who have thousands in their portfolio) on a regular basis the ones who can afford to pay more all hang out there..

It is rare not to have at least 10 to 20 other people after the same name...

Hi, thanks for your responses...I dont know about Snapnames, pool, or enom but registerfly has a backorder service for $15 where you pay them first and you get it when it's available. If you dont get the domain, you can always change it to another domain. what do you guys think?..

Really, it is waste and money is not refundable...
