In general terms, you can use freshdrop.net to catch a lot of these
domains before they expire. But looks to be too late now.<br>
<br>
The domain initial goes into a vague domain redemption period where the
original owner can re-register it. Once that term expires - could be
1-3 months, then the domain drops and becomes available for
registration.<br>
<br>
Domain drops are a big, nasty business these days so you're swimming
with the sharks with all the technology if you try a domain catching
service (i.e. namejet.com, which for $69 will put an order in to catch
the domain as soon as it moves from the redemption period). So that's
also risky.<br>
<br>
So - the end result is that as already noted, call the guy in toronto.
Pay him to re-register the domain and the pay him to buy it from him.
If you wait until the domain becomes available (won't be today) then
you're up against a lot of people and may not get it.<br>
<br>
To get the guy's info, do a whois talar.com from your command line.<br>
<br>
One other word of advice, if you actually want the domain, don't go
fishing with the offer. That can turn sour. <br>

anyone know what to do about backorder on domain names?<br>
<br>
I want a name talar.com <br>
<br>
It is listed as back order on go daddy. Whois says it's registered to
godaddy, and there is no site currently at the address. NSlookup gives
an address of 206.191.0.140 which I can ping, but if I ping talar.com I
get a could not find host. Whatdo I do here my boss wants this name,
TODAY!<br>
