In January, 2012, LogicBoxes announced it was partnering with [[Yovole]], an Internet services and hosting provider based in China. The partnership allows Yovole to leverage LogicBoxes' [[ICANN]] accreditation as to secure their own accreditation, and to make more concerted moves into the domain name industry.<ref>[http://blog.logicboxes.com/2012/01/24/logicboxes-partners-with-yovole/ LogicBoxes Partners with Yovole, Blog.LogicBoxes.com]</ref>
In February, 2012, LogicBoxes announced a paternship with the [[.BZ Registry]], and to help expand the services offered by their in-house registrar, BelizeNic. The Registry was looking to migrate to a stable and flexible platform that would allow it to expand its product suite and deliver better customer experience. LogicBoxes has now setup BelizeNic on its proprietary Registrar platform – OrderBox. The transition process did not affect their existing customers.<ref>[http://blog.logicboxes.com/2012/02/17/logicboxes-partners-with-bz-registry/ LogicBoxes Partners with BZ Registry, Blog.LogicBoxes.com]</ref>
In May, 2012 it was announced that [[Genious Communications]] had partnered with LogicBoxes to help it receive [[ICANN]] accreditation in 2 months, which is timely considering that it often takes 3 to 6 months.
