Hi, I entered a domain name to order and it said it was already in use but that for $18.99 i could backorder it. is that a yearly fee or one time free until the name becomes available? also should i contact the current owner directly since their registration info is listed publicly and ask if they to sell it to me? what would be the procedure to do that? Thank you so much
backorder works if that domain expired and getting deleted. the registrar watch that domain for you and reg when that becomes available. Yes you can contact the owner by email with some offers to purchase the existing domain.
