Changes on the LB platform NetEarth One

Withdrawal of Free email service from the LB platform.

Following a long and protracted discussion with LogicBoxes, and because of the constant issues surrounding LB’s inability to keep their IP addresses out of RBL’s, LB has decided it is in their best interests to remove the free email service and email forwarding service that is provided with each domain name purchased through the platform.

This initially affects all new registrations. We are advised that renewals that already have the service enabled will not be affected. However, we have learnt in the ongoing debacle that sometime in early 2025, they will move all existing free, business, and enterprise mail services offered on the platform to this new service.

The free services will revert to a 90-day free period at that time, so I understand, but as of this post, nothing has been sent to us in writing.

We will update you further when we know more. The Titan email service has not been enabled within our panel as yet on the LB platform as we are awaiting final pricing, it seems Newfold’s new focus is to sell the email service to the non newfold registrar at the same price their own registrars are offering to their resellers (meaning non newfold registrars pay more).
