Never signed up before. If I backorder a domain will it tell me ahead of time if multiple people have backordered it or do I just have to wait until they grab it to see what happens?

Thanks.

No, it will not alert you ahead of time. You just have to wait it out, and if you get an email saying you own it - You do. If not, it will say xxxxxx.com is now in auction, yada yada.

Thanks.

by the way, do you have sxxxxxxxn.com on backorder for today? ;)

Everyone does. Its already at auction. Sealed bids. People are going to overpay like crazy on this one.

This is an interesting related site I visit every so often

Cool so you can view the auction progress too?

Before, one could watch an auction progress (as far as whos bidding and how much). Now if you put in your back order, all you can do is make a sealed bid and wait for 3 days. If you progress to phase 2, then you know your bid was within 20% of the highest bid. If not, thats where the auction would end.
