Hosting Orders added as a factor for Slab based Pricing

Posted on by admin

In order to provide you more flexibility in setting Domain Registration Pricing, we have now introduced Hosting Orders as a factor in addition to the Total Receipts criterion which already exists. We believe that this will stimulate the sale of this Product through your Resellers due to higher profit margins. The revamped slab structure essentially enables you to allow your Resellers to advance towards a higher slab pricing with lower Total Receipts.

Going forward, our Domain Registration Pricing Slabs will also depend on the number of Hosting Packages sold. Your Resellers can now jump to a higher slab for Domain Registration if they either have the required amount of Total Receipts OR the required number of Hosting Packages.

New gTLD Program

Posted on by admin

The process for the introduction of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) is central to fostering choice and competition in domain registration services, and as such is significant to the promotion of ICANN’s core values. The evolution of the namespace toward enhanced diversity of services and service providers must be planned and managed effectively to preserve the security, stability, reliability, and global interoperability of the Internet.

The proposed policy to guide the introduction of new gTLDs was created by the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) through its bottom-up, multi-stakeholder policy development process. The questions addressed in the development of new gTLD policy involve technical, economic, operational, legal, public policy, and other considerations. The intended result is a straightforward, fair, and efficient process for allocating new gTLDs.
