For Resellers interested in offering this dropping COM/NET domain names to your own customers, the reseller documentation and API will be available June 1, 2019 on the HEXONET Wiki.

Announcing the .UK Special Release Drop Page

Beginning on July 1st, 2019 thousands of previously reserved second-level .UK domains (like mydomain.UK) will be released for general registration. This is an incredible time to secure quality .UK domain names, that haven't been available until now!

To help you get the most of this release, we have created a special page to view upcoming releases and start placing your .UK special release backorders today! Start searching now and don't miss out on this rare, time-sensitive opportunity.

Note that in our domain search, these reserved .UK domains show up as special release backorders - making it easy see what's coming soon.

Introducing BACKORDER LITE

Get the domains you want! As an additional option to our existing Backorder service, the Backorder Lite feature allows you to place backorders on domains and we'll attempt to register the domain immediately when it becomes available. If no other backorders are already placed on the domain, you'll get it a great preset price. It is important to note that a regular Backorder overrides a Backorder Lite. As usual with our backorder services, your account must have the available funds at the time the respective domain name drops. You only pay if we are successful in registering the domain name and place it into your account. This feature is now live on our search!

Backorder Lite services are currently available for COM, NET, ORG, BIZ, INFO

Introducing the ISPAPI Premium DNS module for WHMCS

The Premium DNS module is a combination of a provisioning module and an add-on for our reseller customers.

The provisioning module supports registering and managing Premium DNS plans. The product management page in the client area includes the status of the plan, graphical representation of usage queries, a list of Premium DNS plans for upgrades, and more!

The add-on provides a user-friendly interface to efficiently load and import premium DNS plans. It allows users to compare cost and sale prices, while you can easily update prices by profit margin or sale price. More on this and our other WHMCS modules can be found here.

 

.CA Backorders - Temporarily Not Operational

 

Due to technical platform changes with CIRA (The Canadian Internet Registration Authority) all BACKORDERING of .CA domain names have temporarily ceased to operate:

Our engineers are hard at work to enable .CA backordering on the new technical platform at CIRA. Once operational again, we will make an announcement in a future newsletter.

New .IT Technical Guidelines Announcement

 

On May 2, 2019, the consent for publishing data of .IT domains in the WHOIS database became mandatory for all non-individuals. It is not possible to register or manage .IT domains if the registrant is a legal entity and the consent to publish the data in the WHOIS is not given.

Flag details are provided on our wiki and will need to be added for new registrations, trades, transfers, and existing domains if the registrant is a legal entity.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

Customers that have existing .CLUB registrations should consider renewing prior to this increase.

.VEGAS Premium Domains
August 1, 2019

 

Please note that HEXONET accounts had incorrectly displayed a total of 5 premium pricing tiers for .VEGAS premium domains. There are in fact only 3 pricing tiers and this has been corrected.

Please also note that the .VEGAS registry will be making the following changes to their premium domains on August 1, 2019:

Price Updates and New Premium Tiers for .BEST

The .BEST Registry will be decreasing their pricing for standard domains effective August 5, 2019.

Please note that domains registered up to August 1, 2019 will be moved to a new Premium tier and continue to renew at their more expensive pricing. Domains registered between August 1-4, 2019 will be charged the existing standard pricing but then renew at the new lower standard pricing mentioned above.

.VOTE/.VOTO Removing Eligibility Requirements
September 4, 2019

 

Afilias will be removing the eligibility restrictions for .VOTE and .VOTO on September 4, 2019.

These will become unrestricted TLDs available to all registrants.
