1000% Growth in 2 years

In 2004 Webbase was registering domain names with another registrar that offered the "usual" domain registration service which meant every domain needed manual handling to be registered, renewed, transferred or changed.

Webbase moved its small portfolio of less than 100 domains and by 2006 had grown by over 1000%. This was made possible by better margins and high levels of automation allowing customers to register, renew and manage domains without any manual intervention.
