gandi.net overviewAbout GandiGANDI.net was one of the first domain name registrars approved by ICANN for .COM, .NET,.ORG, .BIZ, .INFO, .NAME, .BE, .FR, .EU domains in France. It now offers over 40 domain extensions and continues to add to this list on a regular basis.
GANDI SAS was founded in 1999 by three individuals who were highly regarded in the French internet world (Pierre Beyssac, Laurent Chemla, Valentin Lacambre). In 2005, it was bought by an experienced European managerial team within the same field, in order to create an alternative and independent line of Internet services based around domain names. Gandi has offices in Paris and London.
Gandi is devoted to proving tools for everyone to fulfill their online needs whatever that purpose may be. Whether it is to discuss their interests (travel, family, passions, etc.), to present products or services, or to simply express themselves. In short, we enable people to lay claim to a quality online presence, both personal and professional. We position ourselves as the next port of call after Internet access providers, since the domain name is the first step in creating your own piece of the Internet.
As of August 2009, we manage more than 810,000 domain names from 198 countries, which places us as first among domain name registrars in France and sixth in Europe (behind 5 German registrars - the German market being proportionally the largest in the Europe).
Our clients range from individuals, associations and small companies, to public institutions (The European Union for example) and large multinational corporations. All have put confidence in us, and that is something we are deeply proud of.

Gandi Upgrades Cloud Hosting Specs - March 19, 2009 - - European Web hosting provider Gandi (www.gandi.net) announced this week that it has doubled the CPU resources supplied to virtual customer servers through its cloud hosting system. Gandi - originally a domain registrar - launched the Xen-based virtual server hosting product in October, offering server shares (each representing 1/60 of a 4x quad core machine) which customers can buy and use collaboratively to host their web applications. The company says it made the upgrade to the server specs after analyzing the usage patterns of 5,000 customers, and soliciting their feedback. "There's been a lot of talk within the IT industry about cloud computing tools and what they offer consumers, but this is one of the first products designed specifically for small businesses," says Joe White, chief operating officer for Gandi, quoted in the press release. "It's completely scalable so that it works just as well for a one person consultancy as it does for a mid-sized operation; it's cost effective; it's completely secure; and all the data can be fully backed up." The company markets the product as a cost-effective alternative to acquiring and under-using dedicated servers for companies in the small to medium-sized business range. Along with the announcement, the company provided a case study of Demotix (www.demotix.com), a monetization service for "citizen photojournalists" that hosts its site using Gandi's services. Demotix says it has saved two thirds of what it would have paid had it chosen to buy its own servers. While the virtual servers can configure the Gandi servers however they choose, novice users are able to take advantage of Gandi's "Auto-Install" options and set up pre-installed server types such as web and mail servers. The service is priced at $16 per "share" per month, with servers being made up of between one and sixteen shares. The company also offers a "flex" system allowing additional resources to be booked in advance starting at 10 cents per hour. Gandi's website includes a flash demonstration that describes in detail how the virtual web hosting system works. [ ... search all gandi.net news ]  No official account on Twitter yet!

Johnny Fearless ( -no email- ) | I lost my domain because of these scumbags. When it came time for renewal, I had to mail them a photocopy (welcome to the Internet) of my identification, and even that wasn't good enough for them. The customer service was terrible, and I couldn't jump through enough hoops for them to prove who I was..

Emma ( -no email- ) | I have been hosted by Gandi for more than 1 year. Opposite to some reviews I am seeing here, I always got extremely fast and competent answers from the customer service, which was not the case at 1and1 where I was hosted previously.
The website runs perfectly and I never got a problem with it.
I do recommend them.

Raymond Gallagher ( raymond-gallagher@s... ) | I have used Gandi for close to ten years.
Recently the web page has been changed from intuitive to extremely difficult to understand & manage.
Support is now so poor as to be completely non-existent.
All questions are answered by e-mailing a dictionary taken from the site "Self Help" instructions.
It is impossible to find the pages to redirect e-mails, to to redirect Web traffic or to change account details
The actual workings of the service is good - It is unfortunate that [...]
