We are
Openprovider

Dedicated to a reliable, free, and secure online world

A trusted digital identity for every business

When our founder and CEO Arno Vis founded Openprovider, the domain registrar landscape looked very different. There wasn’t much competition so the main wholesalers dominated the market and overcharged for new domains.

Over 20 years as an entrepreneur had given Arno enough experience to know that he didn’t want to play that game: so he didn’t. He introduced the Membership model so we could focus on serving clients and building long-lasting customer relationships.

50% of our customers have been with us for 10 years or more.

Our customers are at the heart of our business

Web hosters, marketing agencies, and domain resellers use our platform to run their domain business.

Our secret sauce

Be a wolf, not a sheep

We value and promote the entrepreneurial spirit of everyone in our organization, which helps us deliver innovative and creative

Knowledge equals power

We are constantly hungry for knowledge and focus on the importance of education and learning, both for ourselves and our customers.

Enjoy what you do and do what you enjoy

We aim to create an environment in which our people can experience fun and enjoyment in what they do. “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

Quality results in quantity

We prioritize excellence and attention to detail in order to not just accomplish our goals, but surpass them.

TEAM: Together everyone achieves more

Teamwork makes the dreamwork. We believe the power of collaboration is key to achieve our best results.

Openprovider is fully remote

In 2020, we closed our offices and converted to working fully from home. Flexibility and a result-oriented attitude are what define our remote work culture. We do not use time trackers: what matters most to us is the quality of your work and dedication to our customers.
