3.2.10. Domain pre-order

Important points:

  • Pre-order is available:
    • Only individuals and FOP. Legal entities can\'t use it.
    • Only for Ukrainian domain zones, except for .UA, .UKR, .LVIV.UA.
  • Service does not guarantee, It is you who will be the owner of the domain. When the domain is free, anyone can register it with any company. We are not responsible for the fact that the domain may be registered by other users or companies.
  • Service does not transmit domain from the current owner. It is intended only for domain redemption in case the current owner does not renew it and the domain is released.

Domain Pre-Order allows you to automatically capture registered domains as soon as they are released. The new owner of the domain is determined by by auction rules.

  1. You pre-order to the domain you\'re interested in.
  2. Immediately after the domain goes into a status pendingDelete begins auction (on mail and in Telegram the appropriate notification is sent).
  3. You and others who want that domain are bidding on the auction and trying to outbid each other.
  4. Bidding ends the day before the domain is released at a randomly selected time between 18:01 and 21:59 Kiev time.
  5. Immediately after the domain is released, the system is trying to register its for the one who made the highest bid (if the user cannot pay for the domain, the next highest bid is triggered, etc.).
  6. If successful, the domain will go to the person who made the maximum bid and was able to pay for the domain at the time of registration.

  • Bids that are placed 30 seconds or less before the end of the auction will extend the auction by 30 seconds from the time that bid is accepted.

  1. Top up or link a bank card (depending on how you want to pay for the domain).
  2. Open the auction page in any of the ways:
    • Or click on the domain name in auction list.
    • Or follow the link from the auction notice.
  3. Place your bet:
    1. Select the type of payment: balance or bank card.
    2. Specify the amount of the bet.
    3. Click "Place a bet".
  4. If you receive a notification after a bid has been placed that it has been outbid, open the auction and place a new bid that will outbid the other user\'s bid.

Once the domain is free, the system will attempt to register it for the user who made the highest bid. If this user fails to pay for the domain, the next highest bid will be triggered, and so on.

Conditions required to obtain a domain:

  • Once the auction starts, you are sure to bid.
  • Your bid must be at the maximum at the time the auction ends.
  • At the moment of attempting to register a domain you must have the amount of your bid on your balance or bank card (depending on the selected payment type).
  • The domain won\'t have time to be hijacked by some other registrar.

If your bid was not the maximum, the domain will be given to you only if users with a higher bid have problems with payment (if all other conditions are met).

If you pre-ordered but didn\'t place a single bid in the auction, you definitely won\'t get the domain.
