Openprovider is now accredited for .ro |
Good news: Openprovider has achieved direct accreditation status with the .ro registry. This means significantly lower prices and improved service for you and your customers!
Starting December 16, 2025, new registrations for .ro and all 3rd-level .ro domains will be just €6/year for Members (down from €21). Hosting Concepts B.V. will appear as the registrar in WHOIS records
Please note that existing .ro domains remain with our previous supplier and will continue to be billed at the current (old) pricing. We’re currently coordinating the bulk transfer of these domains to Openprovider’s direct accreditation. This process involves specific formalities required by the registry and is taking slightly longer than expected. We’ll notify you as soon as we’re ready to begin the transfer and share the next steps.
