Change a backorder to a different domain
Note: As of August 8, 2024, backorder credits will no longer be available for purchase. Existing credits can be used until August 8, 2025, after which the credits will be removed from your account.
A backorder capture may not be successful, or you may decide a different backorder suits your needs better. Each backorder is set up on a specific domain, but you can change that domain at any time unless the service is in the process of catching it. Backorders will remain active until the domain is captured or manually cancelled.
- Go to your GoDaddy My Products page. You might be prompted to sign in.
- Scroll down and select Domain Products and then select Manage next to Domain Backorder.
- Select the domain you want to change, then select Change Domain Name.
- Enter in the new domain name.
- Select I have read and agree to ..., then select Next.
- You'll see a confirmation message that your changes have been submitted and updates will process within a few minutes, then select OK.
