Most domain name registrars charge their clients a markup over whatever the registry charges them. Openprovider has a different business model, which founder Arno Vis compares to Costco. Clients pay a membership fee and then get domains at cost. On today’s show, Vis explains the model and how his firm uses automation to keep costs low.
