From scattered management to a single overview.

Three situations we encounter every day.

Why choose an Openprovider partner?

  • Your domains are scattered and not registered in your name

    Domains are scattered across multiple providers, some registered in the name of a former employee or an agency you no longer work with. It’s only when one expires that you realize how vulnerable that makes you.

  • An expired domain brings everything to a standstill

    A missed renewal means no website and no email, and recovering it costs money and takes days. With expiration date monitoring and automatic renewal, that won’t happen.

  • Every new market requires a new domain extension

    Every new market requires a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD), and each domain extension has its own rules and requirements. Registering from a single location saves you the hassle of research and prevents you from missing out on your own brand name.

Openprovider as the engine behind your domain management

Your domain name is the only part of your online presence that you can’t replace. Everything else can be moved or rebuilt; your domain is where your customers and your email come in.

Openprovider is the engine that powers it all. Registration, renewal, and management of all your domains and extensions are handled in one place, with expiration dates and ownership clearly displayed.

You are the owner. The domains are registered in your organization’s name, even if you ever switch to another agency.

What We Do with Openprovider

We start with an assessment: which domains exist, who they’re registered to, and when they expire. For organizations that have grown or acquired other companies, this almost always reveals some surprises.

Next, we consolidate management and clarify ownership. You can migrate without taking your site offline, provided you configure the records correctly first.

Finally, we monitor expiration dates and certificates. If you also want to filter your DNS traffic or set up DNSSEC, we’ll look into DNSense; that’s a different matter than registration.

Three things you’ll notice in our collaboration.

Why choose Redkiwi as your Openprovider partner?

  • You can see for yourself what you have

    You can see for yourself which domains you own, when they expire, and who they’re registered to. Every change is tracked. You stay in control; we make sure everything is managed correctly.

  • Independent advice

    If you have two domains with a single provider and everything is working well, moving them would be a waste of your time. Moreover, locking everything down that’s possible costs more than it’s worth. That’s exactly what we’ll tell you.

  • Domain, hosting, and website all under one roof

    We also build and host the websites associated with those domains, so we can handle a migration or set up a certificate all at once. You’ll work with a dedicated specialist who knows exactly which domain points where.

Frequently Asked Questions About Domain Names

01/ Who is my domain name registered to?
We handle the registration and management, but the domain name is registered in your organization’s name. That might seem obvious, but it isn’t: at many companies, a domain is still registered in the name of a former agency or a former employee.
02/ Which domain names should I register?
Generally, your brand name along with its most important variations and the country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) of markets where you sell or plan to sell. Registering everything possible costs more than it’s worth. We evaluate this on a brand-by-brand basis.
03/ What happens when a domain expires?
There’s a grace period, but it’s short, and restoring the domain costs money. Worse yet is the downtime: your website and email will be down. That’s why we monitor expiration dates and enable automatic renewal whenever possible.
04/ Can I transfer my domains to a single provider?
Yes, and you can do this without taking your site offline. We’ll first set up the records correctly and then transfer the domains, ensuring that expiration dates and ownership are in order. This usually results in a cleanup of domains that are no longer in use.
