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.

the operational details that decide whether a catch survives
01 · account

Requirements

Account validation requires a minimum €15 top-up; wallet credit is published as non-refundable. Bids above €500 require €500 in historical top-ups.

02 · deadline

Cancellation

.it backorders can be cancelled up to one hour before the 09:00 or 16:00 release.

03 · custody

Delivery

A sole catch is assigned directly; an auction winner receives the domain after the platform payment flow.

04 · watch

Cautions

  • The public registration tariff is not the backorder fee; rely on the amount shown at booking.
  • The public FAQ confirms the auction trigger but not whether non-reservers may join it.

FAQ

Match.it backorder questions
How much does backordering with Match.it cost?
Price shown at booking. A sole successful reservation is assigned at its confirmed booking price. A contested catch moves to auction. A backorder is not a guaranteed acquisition, and a contested name can follow the service's auction rule: auction when reservations collide.
Which TLDs does Match.it support?
The public product names .it and .es; current individual inventory is resolved in the live release lists rather than a frozen complete TLD file.
What happens if several people backorder the same name at Match.it?
Auction when reservations collide. If two or more customers reserve the same caught name, Match.it sends it to its online auction. Its public FAQ does not establish that non-reservers can join a backorder auction, so no public/private claim is made here.
Does Match.it support early access or pre-release names?
Registry drop-time inventory. Match.it publishes expiring-domain lists and attempts registration on the registry release date; it does not claim a general pre-release allocation.
