Our take
EU-based with one of the widest TLD catalogs — a quiet workhorse for international portfolios, though mailboxes are a paid add-on since late 2023 and renewals jump hard.

Pros
- Wide ccTLD coverage
- EU data residency
- Free WHOIS privacy
Cons
- Steepest .com renewal jump we track (~3.5× the first-year price)
- Email is a paid add-on (free mailboxes ended in 2023)
- UI redesigns have been polarizing
Testing status: we haven't load-tested Gandi ourselves yet. This profile is built from vendor documentation, published plan specs and SLAs, and long-running community reports — and the pricing above is verified on the vendor's site, not copied from marketing. See how we test for exactly what that means.
