Question 1

How do I find out if the domain I want is available?

Accepted Answer

To find out if your domain name is available, use the domain search bar to check if it is free for registration. Our domain search bar is safe and easy to use, and we will never sell your information to third parties.

Question 2

What is the minimum and maximum length of a domain name?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the domain extension of your choice! Most domain extensions allow for domain names between 3 and 63 characters. Do keep in mind that the shorter the domain name is, the easier it is to remember!

Question 3

What is the price of a domain name?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the extension you want! If you enter the domain name you want in the domain search bar on this page, you will immediately see its price.

Question 4

How do I register a domain name?

Accepted Answer

It’s easy to register a domain with us! As a first step, simply look up the domain name of your choice in the search bar at the top of this page. You will immediately see if the domain of your choice is still free, and how much it costs. Add the domain to your cart to register it. When you go to the cart, you will also be able to see the domain’s renewal price, as well as the option to add extra security products to your domain. If you want, you can go back and add multiple domains and security products to your cart. When you are done, click on the cart and go to “Checkout Now”. If you don’t have an account with us yet, you will be asked to provide some personal details here, such as your name and address. Afterward, you can pay for your domain by credit card. If you already have an account with us, you just have to log in, after which you can immediately pay for and register your domain. That’s it! If you run into any doubts or questions, our support team is always happy to help you with your domain registration.

Question 5

For how many years can I register a domain?

Accepted Answer

The registration term of your domain registration can differ depending on the domain extension of your choice. Most domain names can be registered for up to 10 years, but some offer a shorter period of registration only. You will be able to see this when you register the domain. The minimum registration period for a domain name is almost always one year. As domain prices tend to go slightly up every few years, it is always a smart idea to register your domain for as many years in advance as possible. That way, you can often save money, and you don’t have to worry about your domain for a long time!

Question 6

How can I renew my domain?

Accepted Answer

You can renew your domain in just a few clicks through the Openprovider control panel. When your domain is due to be renewed, you will automatically receive reminder emails from us, making sure that you renew your domain on time. You will receive these emails 30 days, 14 days, and 2 days before your domain is due to expire. Another option is to turn on the auto-renew feature in the control panel. Turning on this feature ensures that your domain is automatically renewed as long as you have sufficient balance on your account.

Question 7

Which domain extensions is Openprovider accredited for?

Accepted Answer

As an ICANN-accredited registrar, Openprovider is an official registrar for all generic top-level domains (gTLDs), such as .com and .net. Openprovider is also accredited for many country-specific domains (ccTLDs), such as .nl and .de, and we are always in the process of getting accredited for more.

Question 8

Do you offer web or email hosting services?

Accepted Answer

Openprovider does not offer hosting services. If you register a domain at Openprovider, you get to benefit from a fixed, transparent price for your domain and a large offer of security products to add to it. When it comes to hosting, you get the freedom to choose your own hosting provider and not get stuck with a package deal that you cannot change or opt out of. This does mean that, if you decide to register a domain name with Openprovider, you need to be able to connect your domain name to your hosting provider yourself.

Question 9

Is it possible to register or transfer large volumes of domains with you?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If you want to register or transfer domains in bulk, you can benefit from special programs and deals. We offer special Membership Plans for domain resellers, which include domains at cost price and exclusive discounts on all products. On top of that, we use the latest technologies for bulk domain transfers, making the consolidation of your domain portfolio with us a quick and easy process.
