As a reminder, the .CAT extension is reserved for those that promote the language and culture of Catalonia. It is open to everyone, regardless of where they are located, however it must have a website in Catalan within 6 months of the domain's creation.

You can see all .CAT rates at the following page:

Following a slew of problems with our current webmail application, which, in all honesty, is reaching the end of the line, we have decided to offer you a portal of open-source webmail platforms for your mails.

We are starting with the well-known RoundCube platform. It is accessible at http://webmail.gandi.net

As a reminder, each domain at Gandi comes with 5 free email address mailboxes that you can use with your favorite email program, or via webmail.

For those that would like more addresses, you can subscribe to the Mail Pack for as little as €1 per month under A rates ( 50 cents for the other price rates). You can then have up to 1,000 email mailboxes.

As always, please don't hesitate to let us know of any bugs that you might encounter.

In our quest to provide you with all of the extensions in the European Union, we are pleased to announce that we have added the Lithuanian extension. Open to everyone, it is sold at €16 ($19 or £14) excl tax per year under A rates.

Following successive price increases for .com and .net domains by Verisign, we have had to change our prices.

We have just reactivated the possibiliy of registering .ru domains. Following changes made by the registry, we were no longer able to provide this extrension.

Once your domain name has been registered, the administrative contact will receive an email that explains how to validate the owner information at the registry.

As of February 1st 2010, it is no longer necessary to have an administrative contact that is located  in Luxembourg. The extension is therefore currently available to everyone. Following this simplification in procedures, we have decided to reduce our rates for the extension by 25% for all operations (creation, renewal, transfer...)

Hello,

We have been testing the new version of Gandi.net for the past few weeks/months so that the transition to version 3 would be as smooth as possible for everyone. Even though you may not always notice it, we have re-written a significant amount of code, and so there is the possibility that some new bugs might come up.

If you encounter a problem or detect a bug, please let us know, by sending us a mail to our customer care team with as much much detailed information as possible (operating system, web browser an version used, your Gandi handle, a screenshot, etc.). The contact form that you can access by clicking on the "support" button.

Following a change in the Chinese registry, which is (in)directly managed by the Chinese government, it is no longer possible for us to sell .CN domains.

After an initial change at the end of last year that surprised everyone in limiting purchase of these domains to companies only, the registry has just added a very clear and simple rule: in order to have stricter control over the domains that are sold, they simply and plainly forbid new registrations to registrars that are not Chinese!

Renewals and transfers do not appear to be concerned by this for the time being, though we are not immune to unwelcome surprises.

We will keep you informed as events unfold.

From December 10th 2009 EURid, the registry that is in charge of the .EU zone, will allow domain names to be registered that include accented characters

Gandi does not just limit its development of new extensions to European countries. If we get many requests for a particular extension and if it does not have major conditions along with it, then we will be happy to add it.

This extension is open to everyone, though you will be asked for a contact ID number for each owner contact

, depending on the type of the account. Individuals will need to provide their passport number; companies, associations, and public organizations will need to enter their business or association registration number.

.HK domains are available for €24 (£22, $35) excl. VAT under A rates. Note that transferring a .HK domain is more expensive (€60, $99, £60 excl. VAT) than a creation, though it adds a year to the expiration date.


You can see all .HK prices here
