# Sandbox Testing Environment

The new sandbox environment is now live and fully functional at [cp.sandbox.openprovider.nl](https://cp.sandbox.openprovider.nl). It has been validated by QA and supports all products and functionalities.

Please note: this is a new environment, so you will need to create a new account to access it - existing credentials from the previous sandbox will not carry over.

  
**This article contains all basic details you need to know about the Openprovider Sandbox environment.**  
  
 **What is sandbox?**

The sandbox is an isolated testing environment that enables resellers to test RCP (Reseller Control Panel) and API operations without buying real domains, products.

  
You can sign up for a new Sandbox account at: [https://cp.sandbox.openprovider.nl/signup](https://cp.sandbox.openprovider.nl/signup)
