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.” 

Registry operators that would like more information are invited to attend a free webinar on Thursday, December 4th. There will be three different sessions so operators in different time zones around the globe can attend at a convenient time. One will be for Asia & Oceania, another for Europe & Africa and third for North and South America. Topics to be covered include:

  • Analysis of current industry stats and expected trends for the future

  • Why the traditional registrar channel may no longer be enough for ccTLD success

  • What you need to do to realize the full potential of your ccTLD

  • Case studies on success stories of other ccTLDs

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.
