Important: New reseller responsibilities under NIS2 and local registry policies |
To meet the requirements of the NIS2 Directive for European ccTLDs, national regulations (such as NIXI for .IN), and other registry-specific rules (including .BE and .US), we have strengthened our data validation and registrant identity verification processes. Our published policies have also been updated.
All affected resellers have been informed by email. If you want to see the full overview of our updated policies and responsibilities again, you can find it in the newsfeed of the control panel. |
Reminder: 2FA required from October 28th |
Starting October 28th, two-factor authentication (2FA) will be mandatory for all Openprovider accounts to enhance security.
Enabling 2FA takes just 2 minutes. If you haven’t yet, please activate it now and download your backup codes to avoid any access issues later. To generate your login codes, you can use an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or Duo.
If you have already enabled 2FA, please don’t forget to download your backup codes. They’re essential if you lose access to your authentication device. To get them, you can temporarily disable 2FA, re-enable it, and then download the codes through your authenticator app.
If you have any questions, our support team is here to help! |
Update to SEPA bank transfers |
Starting in October 2025, SEPA credit transfers will become instant. Whenever you add funds to your Openprovider account through a SEPA transfer, the payment will arrive within seconds and your balance will be updated right away - any day of the week, including weekends and holidays. The best part? Instant SEPA transfers come at the same price as standard SEPA transfers: just €0.25 per transfer. Enjoy faster, easier, and more reliable payments, without any extra cost. |

What five years of being remote taught us about culture
In 2020, Openprovider made the bold move to go fully remote - not as a short-term solution, but as the foundation of our culture. Since then, our team has grown from 50 to more than 100 colleagues, collaborating seamlessly across 20+ countries.
Thinking about taking your business fully remote? On our blog, we share how we’ve built strong communication, embraced asynchronous schedules, and fostered a culture that thrives without borders.
