Company History

LogicBoxes was launched in 2003 as a separate business unit of Directi, with the aim to provide registrar software to Directi’s in-house domain registrar, ResellerClub, and other registrars. It was the first business automation solution for registrars and is currently the largest.[8] Its 2011 achievements and highlights can be found here.

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.[9]

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.[10]

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. They are also working with LogicBoxes to expand their domain extension portfolio. This has allowed Genious Communications to focus on growing their business, while allowing LogicBoxes to make further strides in to the growing African market.[11]
