Domain Backorder Service

Service Description

Domain Backorder Service is meant to help RU-CENTER clients register a domain on the day of its release.

A backorder request may be submitted for any taken domain in .RU, .РФ, .SU TLDs and third-level domains, scheduled to be released within the following 30 days.

The service fee is graded subject to the period left before the domain name deletion from the Registry.

RU-CENTER will therefore:

  • accept backorders for a soon-to-release domain name;
  • keep track of the domain name release date;
  • register domain name in the Registry in case of domain release. Domain is registered in the client's name.

Service Delivery Details

The service is delivered as per:

Domain Backorder Schedule (Addendum to the Service Agreement)

.SU and Third-Level Domain Backorder Schedule (Addendum to the Service Agreement)

  • An order can be made 30 days before the domain release according to any available plan.
  • If a pre-paid order has been submitted for the domain, the plans with an earlier validity period remain available.
  • On the day of domain deletion an order can be made according to the plan with the current or subsequent validity period. On the day of domain deletion the orders are accepted before 04:30 p.m. (MSK).
  • For an order to be executed it has to be covered by the funds allocated no later than expiry moment of the validity period of the selected plan. In this case the orders made according to the plan with a later validity period will be canceled, and the allocated funds will be released.
