@Kevin,
Call GoDaddy and tell them to stop ripping you off! You can renew the domain yet for normal renewal fees, they simply pull the domain from your account to “easily” prevent you from doing it. Place the call and you should be good.

Thanks so much for the info.

Can someone explain how Godaddy’s backorder option enters into this process?

Yes, any domain name that is registered with Godaddy.com or any of its resellers (WildWestDomains, BlueRazor etc) no matter who owns the domain, if it reaches expired status and follows the normal process will reach the auction if not renewed.

Hi Jamie Zoch, thanks for replying.

The article you write here touch on cases whereby people who registered their domain names with GoDaddy as their registrar and didn’t renew them and allow their registration to expire and GoDaddy will then puts them up for auction right?

What I want to know is if the process applies to domain names owners which are owned by Godaddy and not by any other person?

Thanks for reading my comment and hope to hear from you soon.

@Clara,
I am not sure I fully understand your question?

Hi, thanks for the information.

Just a question, is it the same with domain names registered by GoDaddy in its own registrar?

I hope to get an answer soon. Thanks.

You are correct Josh. Auction price + Domain renewal fee. You can always look for a domain name renewal coupon as well. gdb776 seems to always work. It lowers “renewal” down closer to $8 for .com’s but works for .net, .org and likely others. Put it into the discount code section in your cart and make sure to hit Apply.

There is a lot more to this than I thought. Thanks for breaking it down. So is this right… if I bought the domain on the 5th day of the Fire Sale for $5, I will end up paying $5 + $10.69 (renewal fee)?
