How to get old domain names?

    The only way to get them is by contacting the person who owns it right ?

    Because if you backorder it then the domain will first have to expire only then you can get it.


    Thanks,

    Yes, if the domain is registered by someone else you will have to buy it directly from him/her. If there is no "domain for sale" message on the site and no contact details then try to look up the WHOIS record.

    Sedo.com is a good place to get domains, with 11.5m for sale I'm sure you'll find what you want :)

    Yes Gauhar, use the administrative contact info found in the WHOIS record to contact them, or, as Twoism
    suggested, check if there is any indication of the domain/website being for sale.

    Backordering would only help if the registrant fails to renew their name, and even then, you have
    no guarantee of getting it.

    You must have lots of time on hand to scroll through all that list.
