There is no risk and no fee to participate in NameJet

No upfront costs

At NameJet, you are only responsible for payment if you get the name. Backorder up to 10 domains per day (Verified Bidders may enter an unlimited number of names) at any bid on or above our minimum bid amount (if not verified there is a $2,500 maximum). You are charged only when you get the name that you want.

No hidden costs

At NameJet, all bids include the registration of your new domain name. Renewal pricing after that one-year period is determined by the registrar of your domain name.

Variable pricing

Our domain name providers are setting their own starting bid. Currently they vary from $29 to $69. All wish list backorders start at $29, but be sure to watch those often as you will not be entered in the auction if you are below the asked minimum bid.

Domain Name Backorders

Backorder any domain, expiring or fully registered anytime. Opening bid for each name is $29.

Private domain name auctions

Only those who placed a Backorder on the domain name are eligible to participate in the auction for that domain. The highest Backorder bid becomes the starting price. Unless the highest bid already belongs to you, your starting bid needs to be above the carried over high bid.

Public domain name auctions

NameJet offers public domain auctions, whose names come from several sources, including private auctions in which the top bidder was disqualified for non payment. In that case, the second highest bid of the private auction gets carried over. If that bid doesn't belong to you, your starting bid needs to be above the carried over bid.

What is a Verified Bidder?

If your account has not previously been verified, in order to backorder or bid on more than 10 domain names per day or over $2,500 (all bids collectively), all users must become Verified Bidders.

We will notify you by email when your account has been upgraded.
