How to recover pendingDelete domain name?

If your domain name has entered `pendingDelete` status. At this stage, the registry has scheduled the name for deletion, and once dropped, it typically becomes available again within 5 to 15 days.

Please note, however, that expired domain names often attract third-party interest, and there is a significant chance that domain investors or “squatters” may attempt to register it immediately once it becomes available.

You have two possible options moving forward:

  1. Wait for General Availability
    You may attempt to register the domain name once it is fully released back into the pool of available domains. This option carries the risk that someone else may secure it first.

  2. Place a Backorder
    A backorder is a priority request through our partner registrars, which attempts to register the domain name the moment it is deleted by the registry. We can process a backorder for you at a flat fee of $100. While this increases the chances of successfully securing the domain, it is not a guaranteed capture, as multiple parties may also compete for it.

If you choose to get a backorder service, please contact our support team regardless of where the domain name was registered we can attempt a capture.

Thank you.
