The domain industry is changing rapidly, and not always for the better.
According to multiple industry sources, many Hexonet customers are not happy with the platform’s recent migration to CentralNIC. Many people have already complained about additional service fees, higher TLD prices, and frustration over a lack of transparency. If you’re considering a better-deal alternative for your business, you’re not alone.
At Openprovider, we see the industry shifting toward monopolization, with larger corporations absorbing smaller registrars. This often leads to rising costs and fewer choices for businesses. Unlike many of our competitors, Openprovider remains independent and focused on delivering value to domain resellers.
Looking for an alternative to Hexonet? Here’s why we’re worth your consideration.
Transparent domain pricing, always at cost price
We understand the frustration of shopping around for cheap domains – and that’s before the hidden charges hit you.
Openprovider operates on a simple principle: buy a Membership and get operations for 1,900+ domains at cost price. No hidden fees, no surprise hikes —ever. What you see is what you pay.
This means you’ll consistently save on the most popular domains like .com and .net, as well as on niche gTLDs and ccTLDs like .co, .mx, and .ai. Whether you manage a handful of domains or thousands, our pricing structure always helps you save.
In the words of our Member Boštjan Kotnik, an Openprovider Membership already pays off if you have 7-8 domains – but if you have 70 domains, as he does, savings are truly huge. And, the more domains you have, the more your savings keep growing.
Even with our smallest Membership Plan, you can save up to $240 a year and get up to 6X ROI.
A model built for resellers
Most businesses spend too much time on domains.
That’s why we designed our Membership model with just one goal in mind: to simplify resellers’ lives.
Our bundle products—SSL, Plesk, and business email—make it simple to add value to your domain registrations with extras that your customers will appreciate, strengthening customer retention. Thanks to our long-standing partnerships with vendors like Webpros and Sectigo, we’ve secured highly competitive prices on these products—deals you won’t easily find elsewhere.
To make things even easier, our intuitive control panel and flexible API let you manage your entire portfolio in one place. We also offer integrations with plugins like WHMCS and Upmind to automate the routine operations of your business.
With all these tools and integrations at your disposal, managing your domain portfolio becomes not just easier, but also more efficient and cost-effective. As a reseller, you can focus more on expanding your business and less on backend complexities.
While you can’t buy time, with Openprovider, you’re always saving it.
Standing strong in a monopolized industry
The rise of consolidation in the domain industry leaves smaller web hosters and resellers with limited options. CentralNIC’s acquisition of Hexonet is just one example of how corporate buyouts often lead to service disruptions and increased costs.
At Openprovider, we’ve chosen a different path. Our independence allows us to put our customers first, focusing on tools and services that help your business grow—not on shareholder profits. Independence isn’t just part of our identity; it’s a commitment we’ll always uphold.
No forced migrations, no surprises
We believe in giving our customers control over their business. With Openprovider, you’ll never face forced migrations or sudden changes to your account. Our goal is to provide stability and trust so you can focus on what matters—serving your own customers.

If you’re ready to move on from Hexonet, Openprovider makes it easy to get started. Our (bulk) transfer process is straightforward, and our support team is here to assist every step of the way.
