Starting June 1, 2011, PREMIUM and PLATINUM resellers will be able to resell domain backorders for potentially huge profits.  Whenever a client of a reseller places a backorder, if the backorder is successfully registered and allocated back to that client, commissions for the reseller can be as high as hundreds of dollars. HEXONET's resellable backorders is one of the first of its kind industry wide and we are very excited to give access to our resellers to this very lucrative market.   

Backorder Commissions:
Reseller: 0.00% Commission
Premium: 5.00 % Commission
Platinum: 15.00% Commission

Commision for Single Backorder: (example1.com for Platinum reseller)
A reseller's customer places a backorder for an expiring domain.  No other customer or another reseller's client places a backorder for the same domain.  Upon successful registration of example1.com, the standard reseller backorder fee (typically 59.00 USD) is discounted by the amount of the commission (for example1.com it would be 8.85 USD), and the domain is allocated immediately to the reseller's customer:

• BACKORDER_COM - example1.com   50.15 USD (59.00 USD - 8.85 USD commission = 50.15 USD)

Commision for a Backorder with Multiple Backorders: (example2.com for Platinum reseller)
A reseller's customer places a backorder for an expiring domain.  Other customers or another reseller's client places a backorder for the same domain.  Upon successful registration of example2.com, the domain goes into a PRIVATE auction at Premiumsale.com and is sold successfully for 2,500 USD.  If the winner of the auction is the client of the reseller then the following commissions are paid:

• BACKORDER_COMMISSION_COM - example2.com   375.00 USD
