With a host of new TLDs being launched our aim has been to ensure that the pricing management is as simple as possible. Promos are a critical aspect of pricing and have been on our mind, so we’ve now made a few changes on the Domain Pricing Overview page that has not only simplified the management of on-going promotions but also made it easier for registrars to start new promos. You can now view and manage all Promos directly from the Domains Pricing Page with fewer clicks:
Along with this, we’ve reworked on the Promo table and also added in some nifty features.
Below are a few screenshots to take you through the new features:
So there you have it. We will keep adding new features to enhance your user experience on our system. If you’d like to suggest changes to our interface, we’re all ears. Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

We’re back from ICANN Dublin – one of the most exciting and exhilarating ICANN events in the recent times!
Between 4 days of meetings & business talks, we did manage to take some time out and spread a little cheer within the community. The second edition of our Registry Rendezvous brought a fabulous evening filled with candid conversations, laughter & exciting company to the ICANN event.
Fortunately, what happens in Dublin, does not stay in Dublin.. and that’s exactly why we bring to you all the moments from the Registry Rendezvous!
Check out all the pictures of the party on our Facebook Page!
The highlight of the party was the awards ceremony to felicitate our numerous partners, who’ve been with us for over a decade, celebrating the amazing relationship that we’ve shared with them. We’ve always lived by the axiom of maintaining a client-centric culture and we were overfilled with joy to see how this tiny gesture went on to bring a huge smile on our partners’ faces.
Here’s the aftermovie of the party:
That’s all folks! See you at the next ICANN event in Marrakech.
