Snap up domains before anyone else gets a chance with 123 Reg
Unlike some backorder services, we don’t mess around with auctions or charge more for sought-after domains as we only allow one person to backorder a particular domain at one time. If we fail to secure the web address when it drops, we’ll keep trying for you next time – at no extra cost.
You only pay the backorder fee if we were successful in securing your desired domain for you.

Frequently asked questions
It’s a domain where the owner has not paid the renewal fee and the registration has expired. This could be because the domain has been forgotten about or simply because it is not required anymore.
You can search for them in the usual way and then purchase them once they show as available. But, this is not the most efficient way as not only can it be frustrating but it’s also very time-consuming. You must constantly monitor them until they become available as if someone else is watching the same ones and you’re not fast enough you might miss out. This is where domain backordering can help.
It’s exactly what it says on the tin. You tell us the domain that is already registered; we then monitor it closely and wait for the registration to lapse. Once it becomes available we jump into action and attempt to register it for you before anyone else gets a chance.
You can do that at any time and select any domain that is registered that you would like; you don’t need to wait until it is ready to drop. If you wanted you could place a backorder years before the domain expires. We will monitor it for you and you can sit back and relax safe in the knowledge that we are trying to get it for you.
Once we secure the expiring domain you wanted, we will register it for one year which is included in the fee shown above. After this time, you can keep renewing it for as long as you like. Subsequent renewals will be based on the standard renewal fees.
