Question 1

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

Question 4

Which domain extensions is Openprovider accredited for?

Accepted Answer

As an ICANN-accredited registrar, Openproivder is an official registrar for all generic top level domains, such as .com and .net (gTLDs). Openprovider is also accredited for a lot of country-specific domains (ccTLDs), such as .nl and .es.

Question 5

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. On top of that, you get to choose your own hosting provider, so you do not need to 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 6

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

Question 7

Which security products do I need for my website and email?

Accepted Answer

A SSL certificate is a must for any website. SSL certificates keep your data and your customer’s data safe. In all major browsers, when visitors go to a website without a SSL certificate, they will receive a warning that it is unsafe. Some browsers will not even allow people to browse websites without an SSL certificate. More than 99% of browsing time on Chrome takes place on websites that are protected with SSL certificates. On top of that, having a SSL certificate will also improve your search engine ranking — while websites that do not have one may not even show up in search results.On top of this, Premium Anycast DNS is a recommended choice to make sure your website stays up at all times and does not fall victim to DDoS attacks. When it comes to email, SpamExperts will keep your inbox safe from threats, while EasyDMARC improves your email deliverability and protects your domain from being used by hackers and phishers.

Question 8

Is DNS included with my domain?

Accepted Answer

All domains at Openprovider come with a free standard DNS zone that you can manage through the control panel. If you want to go the extra mile, you can also opt for Premium Anycast DNS, which comes with inbuilt DDoS protection and an ultra-fast response time.

Question 9

What type of SSL certificate do I need?

Accepted Answer

There are three different types of SSL certificates: DV (Domain Validation), EV (Extended Validation) and OV (Organization Validation) certificates. DV certificates are recommended for personal websites that do not process payments or customer data.. EV certificates come with a stronger level for validation. These are therefore the best choice for e-commerce websites or other websites that process usernames, passwords and personal information. OV certificates are meant for large enterprise companies. You can find out more about the different types of certificates in this comprehensive guide.
