Dynadot Backorder Service: Catch Expiring Domains

Updated: January 2026 • 8 min read

Backordering lets you queue up to catch a domain when it expires. If Dynadot catches it, you get it at registration price. If not, you get a refund.

How It Works

  1. Find an expiring domain you want
  2. Place backorder at Dynadot ($7.99+)
  3. Dynadot monitors and attempts to catch it
  4. If successful: pay registration price
  5. If unsuccessful: full refund

Backorder Costs

  • .com: $7.99 backorder + $10.99 if caught
  • .net: $7.99 + $12.99
  • .org: $7.99 + $10.99

Pro Tips

  • Place backorders early—competition can be fierce
  • Check domain history for spam/penalties
  • Domains drop ~75 days after expiration
