How to install an SSL certificate on a WordPress website

Running a web hosting company or agency can feel like a never-ending to-do list. The manual tasks that come with managing domains, SSL, and email take time, especially if you&#8217;re jumping between different systems.



There’s a better way to do this. With Openprovider’s WHMCS modules, you can bring all the products you get from Openprovider into one place and automate the routine tasks that come with them &#8211; from registration to setup. That means faster setups, fewer mistakes, and less back-and-forth.&nbsp;



It also opens the door to automated bundling. Bundles let you offer complete solutions that deliver more value to your customers while boosting your recurring revenue and reducing support load and customer churn.



Here’s what each of our WHMCS modules can do for you &#8211; and how to create product bundles with them.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-domains-on-demand-access-to-1-900-tlds-in-one-place">Domains: on-demand access to 1,900+ TLDs in one place</h2>



The domains module connects WHMCS to Openprovider’s full TLD portfolio. You can register, transfer, renew, and manage domains automatically without logging into the Openprovider control panel.



Key features:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Real-time domain availability</li>



<li>Automated registration, renewal, and transfer</li>



<li>DNS, nameserver, and contact management</li>



<li>Supports 1,900+ TLDs, including ccTLDs and new gTLDs</li>
</ul>



Ideal for scaling your domain business with less manual work.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ssl-sell-and-renew-certificates-automatically">SSL: sell and renew certificates automatically</h2>



Offer Sectigo DV, OV, and EV SSL certificates right from WHMCS. The module automates every step &#8211; from CSR generation to validation and issuance &#8211; so you don’t have to follow up manually.



Key features:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Sell Sectigo SSL products from within WHMCS</li>



<li>Automate CSR generation, validation, and issuance</li>



<li>Renew certificates without manual input</li>
</ul>



A great fit if you’re bundling security products with domains or hosting.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-plesk-provision-licenses-with-zero-hassle">Plesk: provision licenses with zero hassle</h2>



The Plesk module lets you resell Web Admin, Web Pro, and Web Host licenses. License creation and renewal are fully automated, and billing stays in sync with your WHMCS setup.



Key features:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Instant license provisioning</li>



<li>Automatic sync with billing cycles</li>



<li>Easy license upgrades and downgrades</li>
</ul>



With Openprovider, you get to sell one of the most trusted web hosting tools with minimal effort.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-email-offer-professional-white-labeled-mail-services">Email: offer professional, white-labeled mail services</h2>



The email module lets you resell our white-labeled email service. You get full control over provisioning, mailbox management, and renewals, all without switching tabs.



Key features:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Create accounts and link domains</li>



<li>Manage mailboxes and settings</li>



<li>Automate renewals and upgrades</li>
</ul>



With our business email solution, you get to expand your offer without having to manage your own mail servers.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-setting-up-product-bundles-in-whmcs">Setting up product bundles in WHMCS</h2>



Do you want to take the next step beyond offering your products individually? WHMCS makes it easy to bundle domains with add-on products and services &#8211; ideal for those who want to grow their reputation as multi-service providers.



Bundles make life easier for your customers and help you increase average order value. Customers are also more likely to stick with providers they get multiple services from &#8211; after all, who wants to deal with many different vendors?



You can use WHMCS to mix and match domains, email, SSL, and Plesk licenses from Openprovider in any combination.&nbsp;



This is how it works:



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Go to: WHMCS Admin > Setup > Products/Services > Product Bundles</li>



<li>Click Create a new bundle</li>



<li>Add the Openprovider products you want to include</li>



<li>Optionally set a discount or promo code</li>
</ol>



You can find a few examples of bundles below:



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-example-1-domain-ssl">Example 1: domain + SSL</h3>



Use case: End customers securing a new domain right away.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>.com domain (1 year)</li>



<li>Sectigo PositiveSSL (1 year)</li>



<li>Applied discount: 10%</li>



<li>Promo code: SECURE10</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-example-2-web-hosting-launch-pack">Example 2: web hosting launch pack</h3>



Use case: End customers with some technical knowledge setting up a website.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>.net domain (1 year)</li>



<li>Email hosting (10 accounts, monthly)</li>



<li>Plesk Web Admin (monthly)</li>



<li>Sectigo SSL (1 year)</li>



<li>Applied discount: €5 off first month</li>



<li>Promo code: HOSTSTART</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-example-3-reseller-plan-bundle">Example 3: reseller plan bundle</h3>



Use case: small resellers (freelancers or agencies) looking to save on key products for their business.



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>10 domains (.com / .net mixed)</li>



<li>5 PositiveSSL certificates</li>



<li>Email hosting for 50 users</li>



<li>Plesk Web Pro license</li>
</ul>

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.
