Our recent release of two-factor authentication is one more step in providing our customers tools to secure their Openprovider account. With the economical value of domain names and our other products continuously growing, it is important that nobody but the authorized persons have access to its management. This blog post lists the various security layers of Openprovider and provides you with information on how to use them.
In our previous blogs you have read about our view on the domain market. Foreseeing that the margin on domain names converges to zero, we have introduced our Memberships. This new,subscription-based price model guarantees a strong competitive position to the customers of Openprovider. Our brand promise is that you get your domain names – within ...
Since last year, more than 700 new gTLDs have gone live. In theory this produces plenty of new marketing opportunities. In practice it appears to be pretty difficult to sell many new domain names. Customers can often not see the wood for the trees. Yet, there are a number of more or less simple strategies, that with some preparation, could lead to good results.
A while ago Openprovider started promoting the so-called Flat Fee Packages. These packages have become extremely popular in a very short time. As the concept is quite unique, we have received many questions concerning it. In this blog post I will try to answer the most frequently asked questions.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]About two years ago, we decided to put the new gTLDs forward as one of our unique selling points: we would offer all of them, all phases, all related products.

Now that the first gTLDs have become available and are actually being registered, we have noticed hat there is some restlessness with the brand owners: what should they expect? In the conversations we have had with these parties (existing customers, trademark offices and brand owners) we have noticed how much unclarity there still is. This is not usually the speciality of the provider. Is this thus 'scary'? No, of course not! This blog explains exactly what you can offer to your customers.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]For a long time it was just a theory, but it now it has become practice: the new domain extensions (new gTLDs). Since the first of these have been released on the market, we have noticed that there is some restlessness from the brand owners: what should they expect? In the conversations we have had ...
The few new gTLDs that are now available are growing faster than I expected. The pre-registrations were well recorded but the real volumes only came in de days afterwards. The leader of the pack – not only for Openprovider but registry-wide – is .guru. General Availability was released for just barely a week when the applications had multiplied by the dozens. The new gTLDs do not stop at the moment they enter General Availability. On the contrary! And the beauty of it is that it does not cost extra effort.
