Registrations can be started through the control panel. Please make sure that the handles include a company registration number, a VAT number and the registrant's ID number. After ordering the domain, the registry will send an e-mail to the administrative contact. Only after clicking the link in that e-mail, the domain will be activated. This must be done within 24 hours. Additional documentary proof may be required.

Two and three character domains, and numeric domains with up to 10 digits, are charged at a higher price.

During the process, the domain holder will receive CC e-mails about all steps in the process: order confirmation, payment request and registration confirmation. The domain holder can ignore that e-mail, each e-mail is handled by Openprovider.
