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).

.XYZ pricing revision March 2024

Further to checking our sale pricing and our cost pricing at the registry, it seems that pricing was not increased in September 2023 due to a registry price increase (we missed it).
Therefore as a result on 1st March 2024 we will be increasing the .XYZ price for Add/Renew and Transfer by $ 1.80, restoration will increase by $2.00

.ME ccTLD price reduction

Later next month, the registry will be increasing the pricing; however, we are reducing the pricing as we have already seen we have been overpaying for it. This reduction takes into account the increase, so this will not need to be changed until the next registry increase – possible next year.

Therefore, as of now (so by the time you have read this), the pricing has been reduced by $16.00 for registration, renewal or transfer, to the following:

OldNew
Tier 1$36.74$20.74
Tier 2$36.00$20.00
Tier 3$35.56$19.56
Tier 4$34.97$18.97
Tier 5$34.3918.39

Restoration pricing is unaffected.
