@Barrack, that target of 50,000 domains that has been set is going to need serious marketing and awareness drive. And this evening I briefly looked at the system which KENIC offers registrars, it looks like a bottleneck that maybe causing some issues. If I understood correctly, any registrar needs a developer to create the communications between the registrar website and kenic system possible. That is why I believe Kenic need to implement a system as follows, removing all un-necessary hurdles for growth. *KENIC UNIVERSAL ACCESS SYSTEM FOR REGISTRARS:* a) When a registrar signs up, he/she will receive a registration code. b) When the registrar setups up a website, they connect to the Kenic system and put in the registration code. This code will allow them access to a page which contains a unique web code which they must copy. This webcode contains a unique secret number to indentify the registrar. c) Then the registrar will .e.g. create a box on their own wesbite, and paste the web code into the box. This code basically is the service running on the kenic server. When completed, the webpage will appear to have a domain search and purchase options. d) Now a propective client arrives at the registrar website, sees the domain search and purchase box and proceeds. Remember that the box is actually a service running on the kenic system and not on the registrar website, however to the user there is no way to tell the difference. e) On the kenic system, when the end user wants to purchase the domain and that they came from the registrar website, it contains the secret unique number of the registrar. This unique number will cross check if the funds exist and authorize a debit purchase amount set by the registrar. f) The end user is able to complete an online/mpesa transaction while the registrar has used the kenic system for transaction g) Kenic can go a step further and make a deal with say Visa Card payment gateway, and allow credit card transactions. Since volumes will be much higher here than if individual registrars used the same gateway, it makes sense to offer it at the core system. I think this is what kenic should be looking at to match its drive for automation and online transactions. Rgds.
