At Openprovider we offer domain registrations at our cost-price, we don’t earn anything from this operation. Our business model is focused on providing our customers the best service possible with the most innovative and latest available software and automation tools, to establish a long-term relationship together, in which we won’t apply any extra hidden fees or charges. We focus on the long run, hence our membership model.

Domain operations are actions that can be performed on a domain. The most common are:

Registration, renewal, transfer, data update, trade (change of ownership), and restore (when the domain is in quarantine state). Domain operations may differ depending on the TLD.

It depends on the TLD. The common operations are the ones described in the previous question, although some TLDs have different particularities. For example, some TLDs do not offer the “restore” operation, like .cz, or “trade” does not exist.

There is no minimum balance, in order to get domains at cost price and other products, you will need to top up your balance.

We support the Euro, British Pound, US Dollar, Russian Ruble, and Indian Rupee. The last two are only available for business accounts.

No, it is not possible. Once you select the account currency during signup, it cannot be changed.

The following payment methods are supported in your control panel: Credit Card, iDeal, wire/bank transfer, Bankcontact, WesternUnion, PayPal, JCB, and Diners Club.

You can upgrade and downgrade your Membership Plan at any moment by activating the plan of your choice.

We notify our customers by email 30, 14, and 2 days before the Membership plan expiration date arrives. We also notify our customers when they have reached 95% and 99% of the plan limit, to ensure they take action depending on their particular situation.

The Membership plan expires when one of the following cases happens:

- One calendar year has passed after the plan activation
- The maximum number of operations with domains has reached the limit

The auto-renew is turned on for all the newly created plans by default. If your account balance allows, the current membership plan will be auto-renewed in both cases described above. When the auto-renew feature is turned off and/or the account balance is not sufficient, the Membership plan will not be renewed. At this moment, all the operations with domains will be charged at the tier price that applies to your account.

You can easily activate the auto-renew on our RCP by selecting the domains you want to auto-renew in the domains for renewal section. You can also enable the auto-renewal as default, so all the new registered/transferred domains will be auto-renewed by default. Having the auto-renew function enabled, domains will be automatically renewed on their expiration date in Openprovider, as long as your account balance is sufficient and as long as the auto-renew status of the domain is not explicitly disabled.

You will receive an error when registering/transferring/renewing the domain name. Although we have an automated mailing system that notifies you of the upcoming renewals you will have to perform in the following weeks, it informs you if you have enough balance in the account to complete your operations.

You can only perform the operations your TLD allows (register, renew, transfer, update…). If the operation is not listed, you cannot perform it. There are no other options than the ones the registry allows.

In terms of domains, there is no limit of operations. You can register, renew, transfer, or update domains as much as you want. We do not apply any limitations over these operations.
