Summer 2026 has brought several milestones for Openprovider. We crossed 4 million domains under management, passed 700,000 .nl domains, and became the number 2 .nl registrar globally. SIDN also presented us with an award marking 25 years as an accredited registrar. None of this would have been possible without the domain resellers, web hosting providers, ...
As you establish digital service reselling as a hosting provider, web agency or MSP, finding the best domain registrar is a strategic decision that revolves around several factors. Pricing model, service scope, automation capabilities, and co-marketing define how good your domain partner is, and how closely it can meet your needs. In this guide, we’ll ...
To understand what is a .io domain, we need to explore how it has carved out a unique space in the startup and tech ecosystems, and how it’s performing sales-wise. As per our proprietary research using Glimpse and compounded Google data, the term “.io domain” itself generates tens of thousands of searches per month, reinforcing ...
Many domain resellers and their clients have realized there's a world beyond .com. For a long time, that shift was driven by scarcity. The resellers who capture that shift are the ones offering the deepest range of TLDs at the most competitive rates – depth and price are what turn a passing pricing query into ...
A markup model is where most domain resellers start: find a registrar, add a margin, bill the client. The economics hold at low volume, and the setup is simple enough that there's rarely a reason to question it until the portfolio grows large enough to make the cracks visible. The problem with markup models is ...
The domain reselling industry is in the middle of a structural shift, and most resellers are already living it. The old model was straightforward: source domains at retail rates, mark them up, and pass them on. Infrastructure platforms in domain reselling have changed that equation entirely. Today, the most competitive resellers aren't just selling domains. ...
For most businesses managing domain infrastructure on behalf of clients, domain management sits in an uncomfortable middle ground. It's not complex enough to justify dedicated tooling, but, without domain automation, it generates enough operational friction to take up a meaningful share of the working week. Renewals are often managed manually, DNS changes go through a ...
As a domain reseller, you already know the bottlenecks that fragmentation creates. One client's .CA domains are sitting with one registrar, others are somewhere else, and a third batch is tied to a platform you signed up for three years ago because the pricing looked reasonable at the time. Now you're logging into multiple dashboards ...
Most DNS failures don't come from bad configuration. They come from good configuration spread across too many places. A hosting provider or MSP managing a handful of clients can handle the hassle. The team knows which platform holds which domain, who manages the DNS records, where the SSL certificates live. That institutional knowledge fills the ...
When .blog launched in 2016, most resellers gave it a look, noted the premium price point, found their clients lukewarm, and moved on. That was a reasonable call at the time. A brand-new Top-Level Domain (TLD), thin registrar support, and a market still skeptical of anything that wasn't .com – the conditions simply weren't there ...
Your domain appears in every search result, every email address, every business card – and for businesses in Catalan-speaking markets, a .com says nothing about who you are or who you serve. A .cat domain does. Around 10 million people speak Catalan across Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearic Islands, Andorra, and parts of southern France and ...
Throughout June and July 2026, the Men’s World Cup will transform North America into the center of the sports world. With matches taking place across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the tournament is expected to attract more than 5 million in-person fans and billions of viewers worldwide. Cities like Miami, Boston, and New York ...
Most domain resellers reach a point where adding clients stops feeling like progress. The team is busy, the portfolio is growing, but margins are tightening and operational issues are taking up more of each month. The business looks healthy from the outside, yet the infrastructure running it tells a different story. That gap – between ...
Most resellers can explain exactly why they're with each registrar. The problem is the sum of those decisions, not any one of them. It spreads over time. A vendor inherited from a client here, a new provider added for a specific TLD there, until the team is splitting its attention across dashboards that don't share ...
Domain infrastructure failures follow a pattern. A renewal missed in a crowded queue, a DNS record changed without documentation, an SSL certificate that expired unnoticed. Each incident takes seconds to occur. Recovery takes hours or longer. For domain resellers, MSPs, and hosting providers, the stakes around domain infrastructure failures are higher than they might appear. ...
