A TLD on this list means the provider publishes a catch path for the extension. It does not guarantee that every expiring name is orderable or that registry eligibility rules are satisfied.
Before you place the order
the operational details that decide whether a catch survivesCancellation
Ordinary orders can generally be cancelled until 60 minutes before the drop; early orders have an earlier published cut-off.
Delivery
Successful names are placed in the customer's registrar account after payment.
Cautions
- Prices differ materially by TLD.
- An early tier is a binding acquisition ceiling, not a normal registration price.

Auction rules Public auction when orders collide A sole successful order is delivered at the backorder fee. Catched's terms say competing interest in the same caught name moves it into a public auction.

Supported extensions Identity Digital portfolio Extensions from Identity Digital's published portfolio. Check the individual domain in DomainCostClub: portfolio coverage does not mean every expiring name is available for pre-release.
How this service works

FAQ
Backorder.com backorder questionsHow much does backordering with Backorder.com cost?
From £49. Standard backorders use the published base fee: from £49 for a UK route, with .ai at $299. Eligible names also offer optional, higher-priced early-access tiers. The base option remains available without the early-access surcharge; payment is due only on success. A backorder is not a guaranteed acquisition, and a contested name can follow the service's auction rule: closed auction on a tie.
Which TLDs does Backorder.com support?
The public source currently enumerates 26 supported extensions. Domain.Guru reproduces that exact checked list below; individual-name eligibility and registry restrictions can still differ.
What happens if several people backorder the same name at Backorder.com?
Closed auction on a tie. One order receives the name directly. Multiple orders at the winning tier enter a closed auction among those customers.
Does Backorder.com support early access or pre-release names?
Early access on 7 listed ccTLDs. The pricing table marks .ac, .ag, .ai, .io, .me, .mu and .sh for early access, subject to the individual listing. The FAQ describes tiers typically up to 14 days early: the highest tier wins, with a closed auction on a tie. This is not a published route to Identity Digital's entire gTLD portfolio.
