OPEN-PROVIDER.ORG was registered on April 13, 2004, and is set to expire on April 13, 2023. That makes the domain about 22 years old. The domain is managed by Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu (IANA ID 1647) and is past its expiry date. The registrant is listed in Netherlands. It uses the nameservers ns1.openprovider.nl, ns2.openprovider.be and ns3.openprovider.eu. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Nameservers decide where a domain's DNS is hosted, so a change of nameservers usually means the website or email moved to a new provider. Renewals are usually made for one to ten years at a time, so an expiry date far in the future shows a long-term commitment to the name.
