# How to Link OpenProvider with Upmind
> Integrate OpenProvider domain registrar with Upmind.
OpenProvider is a globally recognised domain registrar headquartered in the Netherlands. They offer a wide range of domain-related services tailored for resellers, hosting providers, and digital agencies.
To begin using OpenProvider with Upmind, you’ll first need to sign up for a reseller account directly through the [OpenProvider website](https://www.openprovider.com/).
## Requirements
Before proceeding with the integration, ensure you have the following credentials ready:
* Your **OpenProvider username.**
* Your **OpenProvider password.**
These will be used to authenticate and establish a secure connection between your OpenProvider account and the Upmind platform.
## Steps to connect OpenProvider to Upmind
1. In Upmind, navigate to **Host Control** > **Domain names** > **Registrars**.
2. Click on **OpenProvider**.
3. Enter a **Name**. This identifier is not visible to clients. We recommend entering the name OpenProvider unless you have two separate accounts that you want to label differently (e.g., OpenProvider V1 and OpenProvider Production).
4. Enter OpenProvider **Username** and **Password** to enable API access.
5. Click **Create**.
6. Verify the information on the [Domain Settings](/for-web-hosts/domain-names/how-to-input-domain-settings) page.
