If another registrant acquires your backordered domain, the registrant may be testing it for monetization purposes and may cancel the registration within the five-day grace period. We continue to watch your backordered domain and attempt to acquire it when a cancellation occurs. If you cancel the backorder during the grace period, we cannot register the domain for you if the registrant cancels the registration. To take advantage of your backorder, leave your backorder in place until five days after the domain's Create Date. For more information, see Viewing Backordered and Monitored Domains.
