LogicBoxes
Schedules Webinar to Unveil Automated System
that Helps ccTLD Registries Sell More Domains -
Also Today, a Stolen Domain Alert
|
While
new gTLDs
are getting the lion's share of
attention since they started going
live earlier this year, LogicBoxes
believes there is also a great
growth opportunity for ccTLD
registry operators thanks to a new
automated system designed to help
them sell more domains. Clifford
deSouza, the Senior Business
Development Specialist at LogicBoxes
said the company's ccTLD
Automation Solution gives registries
a dedicated retail storefront and a
complete end-to-end automation
platform to seamlessly run their
business.
DeSouza
noted, “ccTLDs have consistently
shown great growth for the past few
years. In 2013 alone, ccTLD base
registrations grew by 13.1%
over 2012." DeSouza added that Africa,
the Middle
East, Latin America,
Asia and
|
|
Europe
have had the fastest rates of
growth, yet many ccTLDs from
those regions don’t have an
optimal distribution network or the
necessary technology to automate
business activities. "Having
already successfully worked with
ccTLDs such as .CO, .MN,
.HN and .BZ, we are
confident that other ccTLDs can also
leverage our solution and ensure
success,
DeSouza said. "Also, once
integrated, the ccTLD Partner will
be in an advantageous position to
promote its TLD to LogicBoxes’
existing base of 100+ Registrars and
100,000+ Resellers.”

One
other important note to pass
along today - an old friend
who is well-known throughout
the industry, Ian Andrew
of Traffic Names Limited
(operator of DotcomAgency.com)
asked us to alert you that
three premium 3-digit numeric
domain names -
224.com, 452.com
and 605.com - have been
stolen from the UK
company's registrar account.
Should anyone offer to sell
you these domains, do not
buy them as you will
almost certainly end up losing
both your money and the
domains. |
The
domains disappeared from the
company's account in August
and Andrew have been working
on getting them back since
then, but as of this writing
they still have not been
recovered. The thief
transferred the domains out to
a Chinese registrar (ename.net)
apparently after somehow
obtaining the company's User
ID and password. |
