One million!! One million!! (game over)
By Ryan on Tuesday 23 February 2010, 17:04 - Gandi - Permalink
The date is quickly approaching! Looking at the current figures, we will be reaching one million domains in the coming weeks, and possibly even sooner... If you have not yet participated in this little contest, I'd like to remind you that all you need to do is to go to the special form and give your best guess as to when our one-millionth domain will be active. In just a couple of clicks, you may win the voyage of your dreams!
After re-reading that particular entry, we were pleased to see we were
further ahead on the road to 1m domains than we thought we'd be at this
stage. Which is of course purely a reflection of the trust you our
customer extend to us as your domain registrar that we have registered
so many domains. So once again, thank you! (we cannot say that enough).
However, nobody is perfect, and we are no exception, and there is always room for improvement. But we hope that your vote of confidence shows that you understand who we are, and what we want to be as a company.
But anyway, getting back to the topic: one million domains!
The celebrate this milestone we want to offer the happy winner a 'trip of a lifetime!' (cue cheesy music). As is our way, we have not written up a long list of rules, and the whole thing will be rather casual. We just want this to be fun, so we ask that you refrain from posting if you just want to write negative things.
As we are planning ahead, the reason for this early entry is to let you choose the destination of this mystical voyage though your feedback: help us create the perfect adventure, tell us what you would like to do on your trip, give us ideas that will ensure that this person remembers the trip for the rest of their life!
To win, you must answer a simple question: when will the 1,000,000th active domain name be registered by Gandi?
Pleasepost send us your guess for the date and time in the following format: hour/minute/second, then the day/month/year. The winner will be the person who has guessed closest to the correct time and date when the millionth domain is actually registered. If there are two guesses the same, the winner will be the first one to have posted.
The game will come to an end when the Millionth domain name has been sold and verified by our team, so please check back to this article from time to time throughout the year and check on our progress.
One last note - Gandi will be celebrating its 10-year anniversary towards the end of the year...wouldn't it be nice of the two dates coincided? (wink...wink) :D

Good luck to Gandi....
Keep up the good work....
Thanks Zhang!
Also, note that the article has been updated, indicating how to play
I registered eauque.com with you years ago because you were one of the only registrars who would let me "own" my domain name. I have kept you as a registrar due to the continued ease of re-registering and the value for cost.
I like the new changes to your site!
Thanks,
Andy
Well thank you Andy!
It is always a pleasure to hear from our happy customers
My guess:
Time: 11/35/22
Date: 23/12/2009
(hour/minute/second, then the day/month/year).
Suggestion:
Maybe you better give the last submission date for the game, since if you only state the game will end when you reach 1 million domain names, so I will wait until the counter at your homepage reach 999.990 (10 domain before 1 million).
Dear Gandi,
Sorry to post in this blog, since your other sections not reachable.
Are you experiencing difficulty in your web server lately?
I have difficulty reaching your website, my blog (hosted at your service), gandi groups. The only section with no issue is gandibar.
Please advice.
Thank you and warm regards
Hello Zhang,
We did experience a problem with the network on Wednesday when you wrote, which did affect certain customers unfortunately. The disruption was short however, and our teams returned everything to normal rapidly. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience that this may have caused.
Good luck with the game!
I'll second the comment by Zhang: you should probably stop accepting entries when you hit, say, 950,000 domains. Otherwise someone will wait for the counter to almost reach 1,000,000 before they guess.
It look like I'm the only one guessing.
My guess:
00:43:22
22/03/2010
[hour:minutes:second;day/month/year]
Good luck to everyone!
don't you recen chris Brown is so cute.
to follow suit, my guess:
Time: 13/32/11
Date: 16/11/2009
(hour:minute:second GMT, day:month:year)
trip suggestion, should involve nature and re-discovering the wonders she makes, and at the same time discover the wonders that man made, and with winter approaching here in europe, it shouldnt be cold!
good luck to anyone
