Gandi is gaining weight! We now support payment in Pounds Sterling!

One of the things that our customers have come to love about us is our constant drive to add new products and services...

We are, therefore, pleased to announce that as of this week we are allowing our customers to register domain names in Pounds Sterling! :)

This service is available to all members of the Gandi community wishing to pay with a currency other than Euros, but should especially please our British friends. We are delighted to be able to finally offer you this valuable service.

As we all know, good news can only be followed by more good news. So keep your eyes open for even more services that will help you have a presence on the internet!

Something tells me that more payment possibilities are on the horizon...

Missing Gandi Customer Care Replies

This may just very well be the first blog entry that the support staff (Angela, Carole, Françoise, Jana, Nadine, Ryan, Sam, and Soraya) has addressed to you all via a special blog entry, and this, on a the matter that is the most important to all of us: customer satisfaction at Gandi!

Let me begin by thanking all of our customers (you!) for the wonderful, sometimes humorous and occasionally heated support e-mails that we receive each day from around the world via our online support form. It is really nice to be in contact with you and to see who make up the Gandi community. :)

Technical problem

A major problem affected our forwarding service this morning in addition to our connection with the registries that are responsible for domains in .com, .net, .eu. and .be.
This problem began at around 8:00 AM (GMT+1) and is currently resolved. Our technical staff are working to identify the origins of the problem so that it does not reoccur.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused, and we will keep you informed of any further developments.

UPDATE (10:17 AM GMT+1) the web forwarding has worked since 9:47 AM GMT+1...if it is still not working for you, it is probably because your web browser's cache needs to be refreshed.

Website designer "X" received a telephone call from Gandi informing them that the site of one of their clients was hacked and being used as part of a phishing scheme; this call was followed by an e-mail telling them where the file was so they could delete it, which they did within the hour.
