Over the last year, our focus has been on introducing new Products and features. While this continues to be our primary focus, we’ve also started working on the aesthetic look and feel of our Website and more importantly, our Control Panel.

Based on feedback from several customers, we’ve been improving both the look and the usability of our Control Panel and we’ve only recently completed the first phase.

Our New Domain Management Interface goes live on March 24th and with this post we’d like to give you a little sneak peek at what we’ve improved.

The Domain Management Interface is the most used area of the Control Panel and naturally, we thought it would be the best place to begin. Also, given the multiple sections within the area, it gave us a lot of scope to test out various little tweaks to help improve the overall user experience.

What’s new?

There are quite a few things we’ve improved keeping functionality in mind:

* Simple and neat interface to help you navigate easily

* All Domain Management functions on a single page

* Better visibility and easier execution of Pending Invoices

* Clearly indicated Renew button and simplified renewals

The new Domain Management Interface will go live on the 24th of March. We’ll be taking up other product interfaces after that and releasing them as they’re ready.

We’d appreciate your feedback on this. Do let us know what you like/don’t like about it in your comments below.

Dear Customer,

At Indi Domains, we always ensure that our customers are equipped with the most popular products to expand their portfolio.

True to this objective, we are happy to announce the upcoming launch of Europe’s most popular ccTLDs, .DE & .ES.

.DE is a necessity for any Individual or Business having a German focus and with over 65 Million Internet users, the German market is an important one for all web service providers. .ES on the other hand is highly regarded in the Spanish market and has been growing by over 30% over the last 10 years.

Please Note: You can start registering .DE and .ES only from March 21, 2011.

We’ve recently made GR.COM Domains available on our platform and this is a great chance for you to improve your domain portfolio and cater to a more diverse set of Customers.

.GR.COM Domains have been available for Registration since the 8th of February and have seen a stable increase in Registrations since then. You too can capitalize on this generic domain name by registering this domain.

Why buy .GR.COM?
GR.COM is versatile and unrestricted as GR is an acronym for Greece, Group etc. Generic Keywords are also widely available and no premium Domains have been reserved yet. You can even position .GR.COM as an extension and replacement for a .GR identity.

We hope you make the most of this new domain extension.

.CA is the official ccTLD of Canada and the first .CA Domain was registered in January 1998.

The Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) is the body responsible for managing the .CA Domain Space and under its guidance Registrations have seen a growth of 16% between 2007 and 2009.

A .CA Domain is now considered necessity for anyone looking to highlight their Canadian Connection.

With respect to the .CA rules and regulations, they differ slightly from those of other TLDs.

For instance, .CA registration requires one to satisfy certain Canadian Presence Requirements before being able to Register .CA Domains. You can read more about the Canadian Presence Requirements as laid down by CIRA here.
