Domainmonster support MX Records, Back Orders. IDN's launching soon... Hi All Just though we'd tell you about some updates that just got promoted to our live environment. 1) We have now removed the restriction for you to update MX records when logging into the Tel Hosting Interface from your Domainmonster control panel. This was a technical restriction to do with our Email Forwarding service which we now handle behind the scenes for you. 2) You can now place .tel back orders with us by searching on the domain and clicking back order. Once the order is placed we will monitor the domain and attempt to snap within milliseconds of the name being dropped by Telnic. Note that our systems estimate a drop date when placing your order and this isn't necessarily a true representation of the actual drop date. Your order gets passed off to another system behind the scenes that deals with this in millisecond precision. Its not possible to gather this data accurately and quickly enough at the time of placing the order, so we make a broad estimation. 3) We hope to have IDN pre-orders launched and available to place for the Telnic launch on 15th June 2010 within the next week....watch this space!

At your price-list I found no price for TEL domains backorders. http://litvo.webasyst.net/photos/ful...07e19135c3e311 |
@maximka They don't charge a fee to try a back order, you simply pick the domain if they can acquire it for you then you pay the normal price. And only one person at a time can set-up that back order on that domain with them. |
Bunjie, thank you! So, if I will get the domain I want, then my payment will be 14 + 30 = 44 ? |
. I understand: There is no backorder-fee for .Tel domains, only a domain fee. Backordering for .Tel's at Domainmonster, is apparently free. . |
I have just placed two backorders, no charge until or when they win the domain, then normal fee plus any registration fee's if any, and as far as I can see there are none, point is if the name is important to you then you have to make a decision do you want it enough. Cheers |

Then why owner of Domainmonster do not states it clearly? Now it looks to be too good, to be truth.[/size] |
sounds good just backordered one as well Shahid |
If it will be what I suspect, then it will be no so good: 44.00 EUR = 56.1528 USD |
Pricing Hi All Seems the team were a little too keen to get backordering live! They've clearly not added the .tel pricing to the backorder page as you've noted above. Will ensure I chase our product guys to get this added, but as some have observed, our backorder fee is a straight fee no matter what TLD, so same pricing will be charged. Essentially your regular .tel registration cost + backorder fee. Only payable, when we secure the name for you. Rgds, Mark |

All: Note I probably should of added to this that our back order pricing is changing as of this coming Monday; that's probably why its not been added yet. Will chase Monday. Mark[/size] |
so does that mean we pay like 50 US$ for backorder and 15 for .tel ? that too much i guess then not worth it i would be happy if they keep the prices the same so atleast people can benefit so can Domainmonster.com |

Yes, there is a back order fee + domain registration cost. Worth pointing out here that Back Ordering domains is HIGHLY competitive. Therefore, its a very specialist subject which we actually have an entire full time team that work on. Each different TLD is specific in the way that the registry drops and significant expense goes into the software, hardware and platform that the snapping technology sits on. It literally is as competitive as domain drops and within 100th of a second the domain is re-registered. I guess what I'm saying is that if the domain isn't being competitively snapped then just keep an eye out and register it when it becomes available again at regular registration charges - with the risk that goes with that. If it is being competitively snapped, then the charge is worth every cent as you simply won't get it otherwise. Hope that makes sense. Rgds, Mark[/size] |
Thank you for explaining, i meant the fee right now is fair enough to pay for the backordered .tel but if it gets increased to like 40 to 50 US$ i am not sure why anyone would want to pay thats all Shahid |

That does not sound fair to me. Why do you say "probably"?: You sure must know, what your intentions are, or had been. This looks like the circumstances gives you another reason to rise the price/fee, and that you are only taking advantage of all the interest domaniners are showing to backorder a .tel domain. Andyway, it sounds suspect. If you wanted to change your price for .tel backorders, you could of announced that earlier. How commes, a registrar changes a backorder fee during "Pending Delete" period of .tel domains? Is this fair?: No, not really. Domainers will feel cheatet, and possibly withdraw their decision to make a backorder. You seem to be speculating on a high demand for .tel backorders, from what you could figure out from this and other forum posts, etc. A common rule in economy says: If demand is high for goods and services, then rise the price for them. You are putting people in an awkward situation, who already made a decision to make a backorder for a .tel domain. What if they don't read your pricing update, and enter a backorder, and complain afterwards?: Would you simply state, that the pricing and fees where listed on your website? In my opinon, you must announce the relevant and last price/fee for .tel backorders at least 30 days before the first "Pending Delete" show up. So that people know, how much they will be paying. .[/size] |

It sounded so from the very beginning. That question, why prices for TEL back-ordering are not written in the pricelist, already was raised at another topic earlier and then it was not answered by this registrar. By my opinion, then also it was not an accident.[/size] |
if price changes from the normal backorder fee i withdraw right away. |
