LogicBoxes Announces Vertical Integration Solutions for New gTLDs

Posted on by Amreen Bhujwala

Integrate-Vertically

LogicBoxes, the developer of OrderBox , a Registrar automation product currently used by over 100 ICANN Accredited Registrars, announced the launch of a new solution, ‘Integrate Vertically’, tailored to meet the needs of New gTLD operators.

The solution is meant for those New gTLD operators that wish to set-up a Registrar subsidiary to distribute their TLDs to resellers, end-customers or internal users, without depending exclusively on existing Registrars.

“The electric fence that divided registry and registrar operations since 1999 has been torn down. gTLDs will soon out-number the active Registrars but their shelf space will be very limited. Incumbent Registrars will not be able to focus on all gTLDs as they do today. New gTLD operators need to plan their distribution strategy and evaluate the need to setup a registrar subsidiary” said Sandeep Ramchandani, Business Head of LogicBoxes.

The solution consists of a comprehensive package which offers consultancy to take New gTLD bidders through the ICANN Registrar Accreditation process, front-end and back-end registrar software set-up (using OrderBox), process and compliance management (to ensure that all clients are prepared to manage Registrar functions), and even includes white-labeled end-customer support. Once integrated, all New gTLD clients will be in an advantageous position to channel their string to LogicBoxes’ existing base of 100+ Registrars and 100,000+ Resellers.

LogicBoxes Partners with .BZ Registry

Posted on by admin

We are pleased to announce our partnership with the .BZ Registry, University Management Ltd. to provide business automation solutions to their in-house Registrar arm, BelizeNic.

.BZ is the country code top-level domain for Belize. Prior to partnering with us, BelizeNic was using a legacy system to sell .BZ domains. The Registry was looking to migrate to a stable and flexible platform that would allow it to expand its product suite and deliver better customer experience.

LogicBoxes has now setup BelizeNic on its proprietary Registrar platform – OrderBox. Additionally, we completed the migration and transition without affecting their existing customers.

Post migration, BelizeNic has inherited the ability to manage its customers and provide them with a more inclusive set of web services like Web & Email Hosting, Website Builders and Digital Certificates.

BelizeNic also has plans to target nearby territories in the coming months. To facilitate these future plans, they will be realizing localized sites, complete with country-specific currency and multi-lingual options with the OrderBox infrastructure.

As a growing trend, many Registries are establishing their own Registrar entity to tap into local markets. Often the first stop for customers looking to purchase domains in smaller ccTLD spaces, this model successfully serves the customer’s best interest. It also gives the Registry greater control over marketing activities and complements the work done by foreign Registrars in creating awareness and increasing purchase channels.

“Initially we did have concerns about the transition but the LogicBoxes team quickly allayed them when they swung into action,” says Juan Carlos Namis, General Manager, BelizeNic. “Thanks to this partnership, we now focus on more important business activities and leave the day-to-day tasks to be handled by the LogicBoxes platform automation.”

“We’re excited to be partnering with BelizeNic. We’ve spent a lot of development time creating a local’ solution for Registries who want to take control of direct sales to customers. This has allowed us to partner with multiple ccTLDs across the world and we look forward to helping BelizeNic better serve their customers,” said Sandeep Ramchandani, Director, LogicBoxes.

About University Management LTD:

University Management LTD (UMLTD) was founded on October 2000 in order to manage, market and promote the “.BZ” top-level domain name and Internet related services such as web hosting and specialized IT training.
