Domain registrar offering DNS, email, SSL, web hosting, and portfolio management for hundreds of extensions.
#6 of 11 in Domain Registrars by Overall Score
Gandi lets individuals and organizations register, transfer, renew, and manage domains across a broad selection of TLDs. Domain services include LiveDNS, DNSSEC, forwarding, email mailboxes, SSL certificates, and ownership controls, while larger customers can manage domain portfolios and technical settings from the same account and API.
Gandi publishes a TLD-by-TLD price catalog separating registration, renewal and transfer costs, which matters because an introductory registration price need not predict ongoing expense. LiveDNS provides the domain's operational DNS layer independently of where a website is hosted. Buyers handling many national extensions should check each registry's eligibility requirements and renewal schedule before consolidating accounts.
Calculated from facts we verified on Gandi's own website, using published thresholds. Nobody can pay to change it. Together with Market Signal it makes the Overall Score of 48 that orders our lists.
