The Voice of LogicBoxes – Vol. 3

Posted on by admin

Welcome to the 3rd edition of the Voice of LogicBoxes – our bi-annual newsletter on the OrderBox platform. We’ve been mighty busy these past few months in enhancing the functionality and usability of the system. And here’s a select list of important updates that have been implemented in the past 6 months:

NEW PRODUCTS & SERVICES

  1. New Domain Extension: .RU has been successfully launched on the OrderBox platform. Registrars can now provide the following extensions to their customers – .RU, .COM.RU, .NET.RU, .ORG.RU
  2. New Product: Reseller Hosting has been introduced in the system. Registrars can now sell both Windows and Linux Reseller Hosting with industry-leading Control Panels like WHMCS & Plesk
  3. New Product: Multi-Domain Hosting on Windows & Linux is now available. This is a feature that a lot of Registrars had requested and we trust that this offering will help them to create a more wholesome portfolio!

SYSTEM CHANGES

  1. Customer Control Panels have been revamped to make them more intuitive and to increase their effectiveness from a user experience perspective. In addition, the navigation structure has been streamlined and includes a clear ‘Buy’ button for all purchase-related actions
  2. Registrar & Reseller Dashboards too have been enhanced in functionality to put frequently-used functions within closer reach of users. This includes a suite of tasks like renewal management, global search, listing available funds, etc.
  3. The ‘Order Preview’ module has been added to OrderBox. This allows users to get a quick overview of a particular order and facilitates speedy management of orders in general
  4. Work on revamping system-generated emails has begun. This will incorporate the feedback we’ve received from users over the past few months and will ensure that customers receive crisp and to-the-point e-mail communication
  5. We’ve moved .UK over to EPP and have made significant changes to streamline its API functionality
  6. The CSV Reports module has been revamped. The new enhancements provide more accurate and wholesome business data that can be used to draw trends and statistics
  7. The Transfer-in process has been revamped to make it easier for customers to transfer in their domains to the system without using an Authorization Code
  8. The Upgrade/Downgrade logic on the SuperSite has been shifted from a monthly calculation to a daily one. This will ensure that more accurate pro-rata figures are calculated

That’s it for this edition of the Voice of LogicBoxes. If you have any queries about the same feel free to comment and let us know!

CENTR’s Latest Domain Wire Report

Posted on by admin

The Council of European National Top Level Domain Registries (CENTR) recently released their latest DomainWire Stat Report for 2011. This can be found on the CENTR Website.

Quick stats from the detailed report:

  • The largest ccTLD is still .DE followed by .UK, .NL. RU, .EU and .CN in order
  • The 20 largest ccTLD Registries manage together around 63 million domain names representing 75% of all ccTLD domain names globally

Global TLD Breakdown:


It’s going to be interesting to see whether the new gTLDs might affect the growth of these ccTLDs in any way. What do you think?

Revamped Domain Management Interface

Posted on by admin

After revamping our website, the next interface that went under the LogicBoxes’ design knife is our Domain Management Interface.

Being one of the most-frequented sections of the control panel, we decided to revamp this interface first. And with the new design, there are a lot of things that we’ve polished and improved – namely:

1. Easy access to all of a Domain’s associated web products within the same page
2. Domain Contact Management has been made simpler
3. Locking and Suspension of Domains can now be done from the same place
4. Better visibility and handling of pending payments
5. Child Name Servers are relatively easier to create and change
6. Strategically located “Renew” button to help your customer renew easily

This is currently live in OrderBox and you can login to your OrderBox account to get a first-hand glance at the same today.

Have any feedback or suggestions on our new interface?

.COM and .NET TLDs – Now Separate Products in the LogicBoxes System

Posted on by admin

Adapting to the recent gTLD pricing changes, we have split the .COM and .NET TLDs such that pricing for each TLD can be set independent of the other.

As the 2 TLDs are now priced very differently, we believe that this split should help you offer .NET domains at a much lower price as compared to .COM domains.

We recommend that you change your .NET pricing right away, and begin offering the TLD at a better price to your customers and resellers.

For more information on how to change your pricing, please click here.

We hope that our efforts will help you offer a competitive proposition in the price sensitive domain market.

As always, please feel free to contact your LogicBoxes Account Manager for any further assistance that you may need.
