You can place backorders on domains you find on Investor's Edge, and we'll attempt to acquire the domain for you if it becomes available.

To Place a Backorder on a Domain Through Investor's Edge

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Products section, click Domain Manager.
  3. From the Buy/Sell menu, select Investor's Edge.
  4. Select the checkbox(es) for the domain(s) on which you want to place a backorder, and then click Backorder.
  5. Select one of the following, and then click Next:
    Public
    Places a public backorder on the domain. If the domain becomes available, we will attempt to register it for you
    Private

  8. From the Number of credits to use list, select the number of credits you want to apply, and then click Next.

    NOTE: The number of credits in the list are the credits you have available for the transaction. If you do not have enough credits, you continue to your shopping cart to complete a domain backordering purchase. If you have not purchased a backorder, we add it to your cart.
