The Voice of LogicBoxes: Vol. 13

Posted on by Neha Mestry

Hello folks, we’re back with our 13th edition of the Voice of LogicBoxes! 

Is it just us or is 2019 really travelling at the speed of light?  We won’t be surprised if we blink and find out that it is Christmas time already! All right, jokes aside, Q3 has been quite a packed quarter for us. Our teams have spent a lot of time, effort and resources on a bunch of system changes. Let’s go through each one of these in this post, shall we?

PRODUCT UPDATES

.CO Birthday Sale: The .CO domain extension completed 9 years of its existence. To celebrate the occasion, we ran a 10-day promo wherein we offered .CO domains only at $1.39! More details here.

  • Important Updates on .ES Relaunch: We relaunched .ES, the ccTLD of Spain, at a price of $7.79. This price is now applicable on new registrations, renewals and transfer-ins. More details here.
  • Price Revision of WordPress Add-ons: We revised the prices of the WordPress Add-ons that we offer with effect from August 5, 2019. You can find out all the details here.
  • Discontinuation of Impress.ly Orders: Basis the feedback we received as well as the trends spotted in the usage patterns, we decided to discontinue new adds for Impress.ly, our very own website builder. Please note that this change does not affect any existing orders. More details here.
  • Registry Price Revisions for .BIZ and Donuts TLDs: Owing to the price hikes announced by the .BIZ Registry as well as Donuts Inc., we revised our selling pricing for a host of TLDs which will go into effect from November 1, 2019. More details here.
  • Domain Privacy Updates for .NZ: The .NZ Registry recently imposed some contractual obligations with respect to handling contact information associated with their domain names. Owing to this, we had to make some changes in the registration and management of .NZ domains registered for users in the European Economic Area (EEA) with effect from September 30, 2019. More details here.
  • Introducing Plesk Add-on on dedicated Servers: We launched Plesk Add-ons for our Linux and Windows Dedicated Server plans which start from a slow as $5.49 per month. More details here.
  • Transfer-out Emails: We made some improvements in our domain transfer-out authorization process. As per the new process, the transfer-out link now leads to a transfer confirmation landing page on which, the user is required to explicitly click on the ‘Decline Transfer’ button to confirm their intention to cancel the transfer. More details here.

SYSTEM UPDATES

  • Important Updates on Company Name Change: The new legal entity name of our company has been changed from ‘Directi Web Technology Private Limited’ to ‘Endurance International Group (India) Private Limited’. We sent out an email communicating a list of instructions that our partners will need to follow moving forward. More details here.
  • Important Updates on Reseller Agreement: We revised our Reseller Master Agreement which now bears a change regarding all domain orders under your Reseller account which are on our (PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com) Registrar credentials. More details here.
  • Launch of RDAP: Owing to ICANN’s mandate, we launched the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) on the LogicBoxes platform on August 12, 2019. More details here.

Apart from all this, we also ran three monthly domain name promos where we offered over 80 TLDs at discounted prices. In case you wish to take a look at the TLDs that are available on discounts, you can visit our Promos page.

TLD Tuesdays (Vol. 7): .GLOBAL

Posted on by Neha Mestry

With globalization scaling new heights, international boundaries are blurring rapidly. Brands and people, alike, are striving to increase their reach across the globe, regardless of geographical, cultural, and linguistic boundaries. This is exactly how small businesses, as well as social media influencers from the most remote parts of the world, are being able to reach a global audience in their hopes of making it big. 

Having a website is imperative to establish a global presence. Moreover, having the perfect domain name extension in your website URL can make all the difference when it comes to enhancing this global presence further. There is one such domain name which perfectly fulfils this purpose – .GLOBAL

A Little History on .GLOBAL

.GLOBAL is a New gTLD which was delegated to the DNS root zone on 6th June, 2014 and was made available for the public to register on 9th September, 2014. Very close to completing their 5-year anniversary, this nTLD has seen 49K+ registrations to date. 

The registry operating .GLOBAL is the Dot Global Domain Registry Limited, while the Registry’s backend services are handled by Afilias in partnership with CloudNames, a Norwegian gTLD consultancy and management services company.

Who is .GLOBAL meant for?

  • Startups and SMBs who wish to expand their reach in the global market
  • Bloggers and vloggers
  • Social media influencers
  • Businesses that cater to the global audience
  • Travel agencies who organise tours all across the world
  • Online stores
  • Non-profit organizations

Why should you sell .GLOBAL

.GLOBAL truly is a borderless TLD in the sense that it enables businesses, organizations, and individuals to operate in a worldwide capacity. Besides, this TLD also supports multiple scripts and special characters.

This is a promising TLD in terms of its appeals, and thereby its potential to help end-users do more with their online presence. Offer this unique and succinct New gTLD today to help your audience further reach out to a much wider audience.

To make things more convenient for you, we have a fantastic promo available on .GLOBAL TLDs which will remain active throughout the month. Don’t forget to check that out!

We hope you make the most of this promo while also offering a valuable domain name to your customer base.

Until next Tuesday,

Team LogicBoxes

Posted on by Neha Mestry

 

“Hey, how was the weekend?” – It was fun!

“How was your vacation?” – Oh, it was so much fun, I can’t even begin to describe!

Apparently, the standard answer to every second light-hearted question these days is “fun”. Owing to the universal relatability of this emotion, we are featuring .FUN. as our TLD in focus for this Tuesday.
