Thousands of domain names expire every day. If there is a .com, .net, or .org domain name you want, but it's currently registered with someone else, you can place a backorder through SnapNames, a partner of Palcom. They will continually monitor the domain name and attempt to register it on your behalf if it becomes available.
Backorder is a distribution term that refers to the status of items on a purchase order in the event that some or all of the inventory required to fulfill the order is out of stock. This differs from a forward order where stock is available but delivery is postponed for another reason.
