Domain Backorders: Pending Delete Lists

HEXONET's high performance domain backordering service intelligently monitors expiring domains on behalf of our customers. We continue adding to the list of TLDs that can be backordered. Many registries publish pending delete lists that include deletion dates available for individual domains. We have made it much easier to download such lists within the control panel as you can now specify per TLD, premium domains or even per registry in the case of nTLDs offered by Donuts and Rightside. You can view these at: Manage Products / Backorder / Domain Backorder Admin / Download.
