Canadians now
have access to a new backordering
platform from Web
Hosting Canada (WHC) that gives them a
chance to get valuable .CA domain names before
they become available to the general public
through CIRA’s
TBR (To Be Released) process. Every week
potentially valuable domains are dropped,
presenting an opportunity to acquire those assets
for as low as $20 (the entry cost to place
a backorder for a domain). If more than one person
wants the same domain it goes into a 1-day
auction (also managed through the WHC
platform).
WHC
Founder and CEO Emil Falcon said, “With
over 3 million active .CA domain registrations,
finding an available Canadian domain name for your
business is becoming more challenging. Before
today, .CA domains did not have a single platform
that could be used to confidently secure expiring
domains. Our new Backordering platform aims to
change that.
Frank
Michlick, WHCs Domains Product Manager,
added, “What makes WHCs backorder tool
unique is that it regularly wins more requested
domains than other providers, with an average
success rate above 70%. Our .CA backorder
system is the most advanced platform of its kind,
and thanks to continuous R&D investments and
ongoing development of our domain management
platform, we have plenty more improvements on the
way.
You
can use WHCs Backordering platform to bid on
domains that drop every Wednesday at 2PM EST.
The $20 entry bid includes the cost of a 1-year
domain registration. Customers arent charged
any fees unless they win the domain, so theres no
risk involved in participating in a drop. For
