Gandi V3.0.0 : A new hope

Ok, so it's not the right Episode number, but this version of Gandi represents a major turning point for all of us at Gandi that we have been looking forward to for a long time now: rewriting a number of processes that have not been totally satisfactory for you.

The first visible change is the new version of the website. This update will highlight (some will say shout) our values, and will bring to you improved ergonomics (who was it that asked for faster domain searches and the ability to attach tags to domains?).

How the domain name industry works - part 1

Registry, Registrar, Registrant, (Registratum, Registrata, Registrunt). Ok, so the last 3 are made up words, and the domain name industry wasn't really founded in ancient Rome nor part of your everyday Latin dialect, but what do the first three words actually mean and how does the domain name industry work? We've been working in the industry for years, so we have a pretty good idea. But we can also understand why all this really can just sound like ancient Greek to many people and not mean a thing. So in the spirit of lifting the lid and keeping things honest (as Gandi likes to do), we thought we'd give you a quick overview of what it all means.

Who is Gandi and why should I care about them?


Ah a good question. Who is this strange and wonderful French domain registrar and hosting provider, and why should I believe they are wonderful? What does it mean to believe in domain name ethics? Well to understand Gandi you have to go back to the very beginning...

Let's (eu) dot the i's.

Simple but important fact in the present context concerning our success rate of .eu domain name registrations made since the 7th of April.

This is not some kind of marketing statement (as we often see) and to tell you the truth I did not mean to write on it, the "we are the best" spirit is definitely not Gandi's.

Actuallly, our support team asked me to deliver this information because they are the ones dealing with the clients who unfortunately do not belong to the majority now owner of a .eu domain name. And believe me, we do understand how frustrated these clients must be so it seemed important to us to give everyone a global vision of the situation (by the way, we were definitely ready at 11:00 am on the 7th of April, so if the .eu box was still grayed out on your computer, maybe your browser just needed refreshing...)

Brand new logo, brand new site, but same motivation !

It is always difficult to remain impartial as to the result of a team project, even more so when the project in question is still in progress.

Probably the best thing to do is to show you a preview of the new site, so you can comment on it, and tell us what you think; in other words, we want to start sharing it with you!
