Dear customer,

We hope you had a great start to the New Year and we wish you continued success. We have recently made a small change. Starting January 1, 2016, we would be publishing our Newsletters monthly instead of weekly. It has been our constant endeavour to bring to you the most relevant information through these Newsletters and keep you up to date on what's happening in the industry. We hope that you will find great value in its content and that it will aid you in your own goals to grow and thrive.

Today Openprovider would like to inform you of the following items:
.net price increase from February 1, 2016
On February 1, 2016, registry Verisign will increase the price of .net domains by $0,67. As a result, Openprovider will apply this price increase in all tiers and in the Flat Fee Packages as well. The new prices for .net registration, transfer and renewal are listed in the table below.

Radiohead backs .music community bid
Ed O’Brien, guitarist with the band Radiohead, has become the latest musician to throw his support behind DotMusic’s community-based application for the new gTLD .music.

He’s arguably the highest-profile musician to support DotMusic to date. Radiohead has sold over 30 million records and a few years ago O’Brien was ranked by Rolling Stone as the 59th greatest guitarist of all time.

Ring ring! I don’t want registrars, but do you still want to sell my extension?
A few months ago I wrote about the fact that – despite our brand promise – we do not really offer all extensions. Recently, I received a phone call from Hassan from Intracom Middle East. I am unsure whether Hassan had read that blog post or just found our name on the ICANN registrar list, but it is a fact that he provided me with input for a nice follow-up blog post.

Making the best of ICANN’s e-mail requirements
As a wholesale provider we preferably do not deal with end users. We simply cannot help them in most cases because their agreement is with you, our customer. Exceptions are abuse cases, nonresponsive (sub)resellers or other (mainly legal) scenarios. However, even in those cases we first try to get them in touch with their direct provider.
