Should I wait with backorder to the last moment?

[Rafau23]

Should I wait with backorder to the last moment? I read somewhere in BCW, that you should waiting until the last minutes with placing backorder. But as far as I understand backorders are not public, so no one will know that I placed backorder on some specific domain.

So, is there any chance, that competition will know that I placed backorder for example 6 days before expiring or is it safe?

Btw. What is best place to backorder .io domain?

Thanks in advance.

That's a tough one, depends on which platform as insiders can peruse orders, if you can wait then why not? Some are unethical.

It's there any reliable tool to check when exactly it will expire? I mean, there is data in whois, but how long grace period and pending delete will lasts is not so obvious.

I did some research, and I think it's more for premium dictionary or brandable names, right? I doubt that they will check jetfuelapp.red if it have good backlink profile for SEO.
