Backordering allows you to obtain high-demand domain names that have just expired.
Expired domain names can have existing traffic and higher SEO rankings than new domains, making them a great option for businesses and domain investors alike.
Once a domain name expires, the domain’s owner has a grace period to renew their domain. If the domain owner opts out of renewing,the domain goes into “Pending Delete.”
The amount of time a domain will remain in Pending Delete varies from the registry. At Sav, expired domains remain in pending delete for 10 days after their expiration date.
The second a domain becomes available Sav competes with other registrars to register the domain. Picking a registrar that’s known for drop-catching increases your chances of obtaining the most valuable domains. Sav for instance has 51 registrars, meaning there’s a good chance Sav will be able to acquire your domain.
If Sav secures a domain that multiple people have placed backorders on, the domain will enter a public auction. In the public auction, anyone can bid on the domain. Sav only charges you when you win the domain.
Backorder an unlimited amount of domains at Sav for no additional cost. You only pay if we win the domain and you were the only user to request it.
Domain name registration costs include ICANN fees and can vary between domain extensions. Secure your domains at Sav for as little as $0.01.

Backordering is the process of reserving a domain that is currently registered by someone else, ensuring you get the first opportunity to acquire it if it becomes available. Sav’s backorder service uses advanced tools to monitor the domain’s status and attempt acquisition as soon as it’s released. This is particularly useful for securing premium or highly sought-after domains that might otherwise be registered instantly upon expiration.
To backorder a domain on Sav, search for the desired name and place a backorder request. Sav tracks the domain’s status and initiates an acquisition attempt immediately upon its availability. If successful, the domain is transferred to your account seamlessly. In cases where multiple users backorder the same domain, Sav holds a private auction to determine the final owner.
The success of backordering depends on the domain’s popularity, competing backorders, and the efficiency of Sav’s acquisition system. Sav employs high-speed technologies to improve success rates, but availability can also be affected by registrars releasing domains at varying times. Premium domains or names in high demand may be more challenging to secure.
Sav supports backordering for a wide range of TLDs, including popular extensions like .com, .org, and .net, as well as newer ones like .io and .tech. Certain country-code TLDs (ccTLDs) may have restrictions, so it’s best to check Sav’s platform for supported extensions before placing a backorder.
Sav charges a nominal fee to place a backorder. The full acquisition fee is only applied if the backorder is successful, ensuring you pay only for results. Pricing may vary depending on the domain’s TLD or whether it’s considered premium, so reviewing the cost details before placing a backorder is recommended.
To improve your chances, act early and ensure your payment information is up-to-date. Consider backordering less competitive or niche domains for better odds. Additionally, Sav’s system allows you to monitor domains of interest and receive alerts about changes in their status, helping you stay proactive.
