Growing businesses and improving people’s lives with the best innovative technologies

Openprovider is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar and technology company. We were founded in 2004 in Rotterdam, Netherlands by our founder and CEO Arno Vis. Since then, we have grown to be a multicultural team of 70+ people. We work fully remotely across more than 15 different countries and 4 different continents. Flexibility, innovation and a result-oriented attitude are at the heart of our business and are what makes our people thrive.

Our story and mission

Back when our founder and CEO Arno Vis founded Openprovider, the domain registrar landscape looked quite different than it does nowadays. There was hardly any competition, so the main existing wholesalers monopolized the market and greatly overcharged their customers for their 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 decided to introduce the Membership model, which centered our focus on serving our clients and building long-lasting relationships with customers. Growing with our clients is at the core of our business.

Openprovider is fully remote

During the last three years, more and more companies have chosen to go fully remote — and Openprovider is one of them. As of 2020, we have closed our offices and have 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.

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 solutions.

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.
