What is domain snapback?

In short: you pick a domain that's about to expire, and we try to register it for you.

Every day, hundreds of .se and .nu domains expire because the owner didn't renew them. When that happens, the domain becomes available to everyone — but competition can be fierce. It often comes down to milliseconds.

With our snapback service, you don't have to sit at your computer and wait. We monitor the domain and make an automatic registration attempt at the exact moment it's released — at 04:00 UTC every morning.

You only pay on successful registration

If we don't succeed, you're not charged a thing. No risk, no hidden fees.

How it works

Three simple steps. We take care of the rest.

1

Pick a domain

Browse thousands of expiring .se and .nu domains and find the one you want. Search and filter directly in the control panel.

2

We monitor & snap

Our system monitors the domain and makes a registration attempt automatically the moment it becomes available.

3

The domain is yours

If we successfully register the domain, it lands directly in your account. Only pay on success — 375 kr per domain.

Why choose HostUp?

Not all snapback services are created equal. Here's the difference.

Official registrar

We are an accredited .se/.nu registrar with the Swedish Internet Foundation, with a direct connection to the registry. This gives us a strong advantage over resellers who must go through a middleman.

Fixed price — no auctions

With us, a snapback always costs 375 kr, regardless of how popular the domain is. No hidden auctions, no surprises on the final invoice.

No risk, zero upfront

We don't charge you a thing unless we successfully catch the domain for you. No upfront payment required and there are no hidden fees. If we don't succeed, it costs you nothing.

Everything in one place

Order snapback, manage DNS, set up email forwarding and more — right in the same control panel where you already manage your domains and services.
