DNS is the backbone of every domain name. Without it, websites don’t load, emails don’t arrive, and services break.&nbsp;



At Openprovider, we provide a DNS service that’s simple to manage, flexible to use, and powerful enough to support everything from small business websites to large-scale portfolios. Whether you&#8217;re a web hoster, agency, developer, or tech-savvy business owner, this article gives you a practical overview of how our DNS works and how you can start helping your customers…



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-flexible-dns-built-in-without-additional-costs">Flexible DNS built in &#8211; without additional costs!</h2>



Every domain registered with Openprovider includes <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/explore/dns-management" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DNS management</a> at no extra cost. 



You can use our nameservers in two ways:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>As master nameservers, where you manage the DNS zone directly through Openprovider.</li>



<li>As slave nameservers, where Openprovider mirrors a zone hosted elsewhere using AXFR transfers.</li>
</ul>



We operate our DNS infrastructure across multiple European locations (Ireland, the UK, and Germany), using geographically separated subnets for high availability and fast response times. There’s no formal SLA on the free service, but we’ve implemented rate limits and DDoS mitigation measures to protect against most DNS-related disruptions.



DNS zones can be managed either through our Reseller Control Panel (RCP) or via our API. Both interfaces offer the same functionality and are designed for ease of use and speed.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-dns-records-and-templates">DNS records and templates</h2>



Our platform supports the most commonly used DNS record types, including:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A / AAAA (IPv4 and IPv6 addressing)</li>



<li>CNAME (aliases)</li>



<li>MX (mail servers)</li>



<li>TXT (used for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC)</li>



<li>NS, SOA, SRV, and others</li>
</ul>



You can also use DNS templates to speed up zone creation. A template is a pre-configured set of DNS records that can be reused across domains &#8211; handy if you’re managing domains for the same server or service provider. Templates support variables like %domain%, which dynamically insert the domain name when the zone is created.



Important to note: templates can only be applied when a zone is created. If a DNS zone already exists, you’ll need to delete it before applying a template.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-tackle-spam-and-phishing-with-dns">How to tackle spam and phishing with DNS</h2>



Openprovider DNS supports all the major protocols for email authentication and anti-spoofing, including:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>SPF: to define which servers are allowed to send mail for your domain</li>



<li>DKIM: to cryptographically sign emails</li>



<li>DMARC: to collect reports and set policies for handling failed authentication</li>
</ul>



Combined, these records help reduce spam and phishing from your domain and improve deliverability.&nbsp;



We also support <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/blog/dnssec-for-resellers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DNSSEC</a>, which adds an extra layer of trust by signing your DNS records. You can enable DNSSEC with one click if you&#8217;re using Openprovider nameservers.



Not sure where to begin with DMARC? Start by publishing a p=none DMARC record to begin collecting reports without impacting mail flow, then gradually tighten your policies as your configuration stabilizes.&nbsp;



We’ve set up a <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/blog/easydmarc-step-by-step-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">full guide</a> on how to do this. It’s designed for users of our hosted DMARC solution, <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/products/security/easydmarc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EasyDMARC</a> &#8211; but the information about DMARC policies also applies if you&#8217;re setting it up manually.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-managing-ttl-and-zone-behavior">Managing TTL and zone behavior</h2>



Every DNS record has a TTL (Time To Live) value that tells DNS resolvers how long to cache the record. Short TTLs (like 5 minutes) are useful for changes or migrations. Longer TTLs (like 24 hours) reduce DNS traffic and improve stability.



We offer a range of TTL options in the Control Panel, from 15 minutes to 1 day. If you need custom values or automation, you can set them via our API. Just remember: changes may take time to propagate, depending on your current TTL and the caching behavior of recursive resolvers.



We also support shadow zones: zones that are configured but not yet active. These are useful when preparing for a domain transfer or registration. Once the domain enters your account, the shadow zone automatically becomes live.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-free-domain-forwarding">Free domain forwarding</h2>



Openprovider offers <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/explore/domain-forwarding" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">domain forwarding</a> at no extra cost for domains using our nameservers.



&nbsp;You can choose between:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>301 (permanent) redirects – best for SEO and long-term moves</li>



<li>302 (temporary) redirects – useful for testing or short-term changes</li>
</ul>



Forwarding is configured via the Control Panel and can be applied to both root domains and www subdomains. If you’re using external nameservers, you’ll need to point your A-record to our forwarding server (34.90.130.132).



For more information, check <a href="https://support.openprovider.eu/hc/en-us/articles/216648718-How-to-setup-domain-forwarding" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="broken_link">this article</a> in our Knowledge Base.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-premium-dns-preparing-you-to-go-global">Premium DNS: preparing you to go global</h2>



For domains that require faster resolution, higher reliability, or better global performance, we offer <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/products/security/premium-dns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Premium Global Anycast DNS</a> powered by Sectigo.



With this service, your DNS zones are replicated across a global Anycast network, giving your users the fastest possible response times. Benefits include:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Blazing-fast resolution via the nearest server</li>



<li>DDoS protection built into the network</li>



<li>DNSSEC support</li>



<li>99.99% uptime guarantee</li>



<li>Near real-time propagation</li>



<li>Easy setup via Control Panel or API</li>
</ul>



Premium DNS is a paid yearly service that can be activated during domain registration or later via the domain’s detail page. You can copy over existing DNS records from a standard zone and continue managing your records using the same interface. Just keep in mind that a Premium DNS subscription is tied to a specific domain and must be deleted manually if you no longer need it.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-get-started-today">Get started today</h2>



Openprovider’s DNS platform is designed to give you control without complexity. Whether you’re handling a handful of domains or thousands, our tools make it easy to configure, manage, and secure your DNS zones.

More European businesses are turning away from US-based tech platforms in favor of trusted local alternatives. From cloud services to payment processors, the demand for European solutions is rising fast, and domain names are no exception.



If you resell domains, now is the time to highlight .eu in your portfolio. This strong, regionally recognized extension is gaining new relevance in a changing digital landscape and offers real business value for your customers.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-shift-toward-local-trust-and-digital-sovereignty">A shift toward local trust and digital sovereignty</h2>



European businesses are increasingly prioritizing data protection, compliance with EU regulations, and long-term trust. The rise of GDPR, geopolitical tensions, and growing concerns about data sovereignty have <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/trump-us-cloud-services-europe/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">accelerated this shift</a>.



A growing number of EU-based companies are seeking alternatives to American cloud providers. Demand for European software, hosting, and infrastructure continues to grow. The same motivations extend to digital identity.



A .eu domain signals regional trust and compliance with EU standards. It shows customers that a business is truly local and committed to transparency and data responsibility.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-eu-is-a-smart-choice-for-your-customers">Why .eu is a smart choice for your customers</h2>



The .eu extension is open to individuals, businesses, and organizations with a presence in an EU member state, Iceland, Liechtenstein, or Norway. It&#8217;s a natural fit for:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>European businesses that want to emphasize their local roots.</li>



<li>Brands expanding into the European market.</li>



<li>EU-based companies concerned with data localization and sovereignty.</li>
</ul>



The domain is managed by EURid, a not-for-profit registry operating under the authority of the European Commission. That adds another layer of transparency and long-term reliability.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-numbers-behind-eu-growing-registrations-high-renewal-rate">The numbers behind .eu: growing registrations, high renewal rate</h2>



The .eu domain has seen steady growth in recent years. As of <a href="https://cdn.eurid.eu/assets/q1-2025.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Q1 2025</a>, there are more than 3.7 million active .eu registrations across the region.



What’s more, renewal rates remain high, averaging 80% in Q1 2025. This reflects long-term trust in the extension and a stable, loyal base of registrants.



The domain also performs well in terms of security and compliance. EURid is <a href="https://eurid.eu/en/about-eurid/cyber-resilience/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ISO 27001 certified</a> for information security and is considered an industry leader in domain abuse prevention.



With its low price and universal appeal, .eu makes a great alternative to .com or .net for any business operating in Europe.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sell-eu-with-the-best-pricing">Sell .eu with the best pricing</h2>



At Openprovider, we offer the <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/domains/tlds/eu">.eu</a> extension for just €4.25 per year for Members. One clear price for all operations: registration, renewal, and transfer.



Retail prices for .eu average around €6 to €8 per year &#8211; at Openprovider, you are always saving!&nbsp;



As always, there are no hidden fees, no fine print, and no surprises. Whether you’re adding a few .eu names to your portfolio or registering domains at scale, you’ll benefit from predictable pricing and seamless domain management.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-now-s-the-time-to-act">Now’s the time to act</h2>



If your customers are based in Europe, or looking to build trust with European users, the .eu domain deserves a visible place in your offer.



It’s local, it’s trusted, and it’s here to stay &#8211; and as an <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/membership-plans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Openprovider Member</a>, you get it at the lowest wholesale price on the market.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-is-the-47-day-ssl-change-all-about">What is the 47-day SSL change all about?</h2>



In a move that’s reshaping the entire internet security landscape, the CA/Browser Forum has proposed reducing the maximum lifespan of SSL/TLS certificates to just 47 days: a dramatic cut from the current 398-day standard.



This transition is expected to roll out fully by 2029, and it’s already causing ripples across the domain, hosting, and digital services industries, other than including a gradual reduction of the domain control validation (DCV), where the reuse period will require validation every 10 days.



For domain reselling businesses such as tech-savvy web hosters, IT providers, and digital agencies, this upcoming shift is a signal that automation, platform efficiency, and proactive certificate management will be more essential than ever.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-push-of-ca-browser-forum">The push of CA/Browser Forum&nbsp;</h2>



The C/A Browser Forum sees top player names among its members, including DigiCert, GlobalSign, as well as browser vendors such as Google, Apple, Mozilla, and Microsoft: in their effort to improve security through certification management, its members have approved the proposal of reducing SSL renewal time.&nbsp;&nbsp;



At the end of 2024, <a href="https://www.sectigo.com/resource-library/apple-now-joins-google-in-push-to-shorten-digital-certificate-lifespans">Apple submitted a ballot</a> to shrink ssl/tls certificate lifespans from 398 days down to just 47 days by 2029, following up on Google’s initiative <a href="https://googlechrome.github.io/chromerootprogram/moving-forward-together/">Moving Forward, Together</a>. This proposal passed unanimously in April 2025.



C/A Browser Forum’s ballot sc‑081v3 marks a critical step in phasing down to 47‑day ssl periods.



Since 2012, the industry has consistently shortened SSL/TLS certificate validity periods to strengthen internet security and encourage automation.The upcoming transition to 47-day ssl certificates by 2029 is the latest (and boldest) step in this evolution.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-is-it-ssl-or-tls">Is it SSL or TLS?</h2>



Before diving deeper, let’s address one of the biggest question marks out there: are SSL the same as TLS?



The short answer is no. TLS (transport layer security) is the modern descendant of the original SSL (secure sockets layer) protocol. While “SSL certificate” remains common parlance, most certificates today use TLS under the hood, overhauling encryption standards, security features, and stability.



To dive deeper, check out our infographic on <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/blog/ssl-vs-tls">SSL vs TLS</a>.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-are-ssl-certificates-being-shortened-to-47-days">Why are SSL certificates being shortened to 47 days?</h2>



The reduction in certificate validity aims to:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Improve security: Shorter lifespans limit the impact of compromised or mis-issued certificates.</li>



<li>Support automation: Frequent renewals require robust API-driven integrations.</li>



<li>Encourage industry best practices: It pushes resellers and providers to modernize their infrastructure and improve compliance.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-does-the-47-day-ssl-change-mean-for-your-business">What does the 47-day SSL change mean for your business?</h2>



If you&#8217;re managing a large portfolio of domains and SSL certificates, the switch to a 47-day SSL cycle presents several operational implications:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>More frequent renewals: no more annual set-and-forget workflows. SSL lifecycle management must become an automated task.</li>



<li>Increased reliance on APIs: manual renewals will be unfeasible at scale. Automation via Openprovider&#8217;s SSL API becomes critical.</li>



<li>Greater client expectations: end clients will expect uninterrupted, secure uptime. You&#8217;ll need reliable tools to meet that demand.</li>
</ul>



Whether you&#8217;re serving hundreds or thousands of clients, how you prepare now will define your efficiency and scalability in the years to come.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-47-day-ssl-what-should-you-do-next">47-day SSL: what should you do next?</h2>



The shift to 47-day SSL certificates isn’t just a technical change: it’s an operational one. To stay secure, compliant, and efficient, businesses should begin preparing now. Here’s what to focus on:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Review your certificate inventory</li>
</ul>



Take stock of all active SSL/TLS certificates, their expiration dates, and where they’re used (websites, applications, APIs, etc.).



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Evaluate your renewal processes</li>
</ul>



If you&#8217;re still handling renewals manually, assess how feasible that will be when renewals are needed every 47 days.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Plan for automation</li>
</ul>



Shorter lifespans will require automated deployment and renewal: investigate how your infrastructure (platform, cms, hosting) supports certificate automation, and plan ahead on reaching a fully automated certificate lifecycle management (CLM).



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Monitor compliance timelines</li>
</ul>



Keep track of the phased rollout: 200 days in 2026, 100 in 2027, and 47 in 2029. Align internal policies accordingly.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Coordinate across teams</li>
</ul>



SSL management often touches devops, security, and infrastructure teams. Ensure everyone understands the new requirements and timelines.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Assess partner and vendor readiness</li>
</ul>



Check with your SSL certificate providers, resellers, or platform vendors to ensure they support shorter validity periods and automated workflows.



Not sure about how to add an SSL certificate to your website? Here’s how to get ahead with a <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/blog/make-a-website-SSL" class="broken_link">step-by-step guide on SSL</a>.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-openprovider-supports-your-shift-to-47-day-ssl">How openprovider supports your shift to 47‑day SSL</h2>



Navigating shorter certificate lifespans means switching from manual renewal routines to fully automated workflows.



At Openprovider, we’re here to make that transition seamless, especially for our premium SSL offering, built for scalability, reliability, and value.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Automated renewals via premium SSL API</li>
</ul>



Our <a href="https://developers.openprovider.com/">fully featured API</a> supports automatic re-issues before expiration: set it once, and certificates renew without manual input.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Premium SSL highlights</li>
</ul>



Our premium SSL certificate includes wildcard and multi-domain capabilities, extended validation options, up to 256‑bit encryption, and strong SEO trust indicators, all wrapped in a reseller‑friendly pricing model tied to <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/membership-plans">our membership plans</a>. 



Via the dedicated dashboard, partners can track expiration timelines and renewal status in real time.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Membership advantages</li>
</ul>



Access bulk and volume discounts, exclusive margin benefits, and flexible invoicing models that scale with your business.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Ecosystem integrations</li>
</ul>



Seamless compatibility with WHMCS, Blesta, and other platforms ensures renewals are routed through your existing client interface, with no heavy lifting needed.



By choosing premium SSL with openprovider, you&#8217;re not just gaining a certificate: you&#8217;re getting a future‑proofed lifecycle system ready for the 47‑day era.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tl-dr-47-day-ssl">TL;DR &#8211; 47-Day SSL</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Industry leaders from the CA/Browser Forum have agreed to phase out long‑lived SSL/TLS certificates, dropping to 47‑day SSL cycles by march 15 2029.</li>



<li>The transition will be gradual: 200 days → 100 days → 47 days, aligned with decreasing dcv reuse periods.</li>



<li>This change demands automation, as manual renewals won’t cut it at scale.</li>



<li>Shorter lifespans are not supposed to mean higher costs: you can still purchase 1‑ or multi‑year coverage and simply re‑issue certificates as validity periods shrink.</li>



<li>With <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/products/security/ssl-certificates">Openprovider’s Premium SSL</a> offering, you get automated api renewals, DV, OV, and EV options, multi‑domain support, under a centralized point of control.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-takeaway">Takeaway</h3>



Audit your SSL renewal workflows, choose one of our <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/products/security/ssl-certificates">premium SSL reselling plans</a>, and leverage membership pricing to stay ahead of the market.
