1. 20TH ANNIVERSARY: Gandi and Radix treat you on social media
Almost 4,000 of you participated—with 419 correct responses—on Twitter when we launched our #GandiQuiz game with hundreds of .site domains up for grabs. We travelled back through 30 odd years of internet history, with our partner Radix.
In September, get ready to win some .online domains!
2. HOSTING: 6 simple steps for migrating from a website editor to a CMS
Building your website using “WYSIWYG” (“What You See Is What You Get”) website builder services is a great way to get a website that looks sleek and professional up and running in no time. But if you want more control and personalization of your site, you may want to switch to a CMS (Content Management System).
3. SSL: Our multi-year preferential pricing is online
As we announced in our newsletter last month, the maximum validity of SSL certificates has been reduced to just 12 months, starting September 1, 2020. At Gandi, you can now subscribe to a two-year subscription and take advantage of preferential pricing.
4. DOMAINS: Should you put a dash in your domain name?
The dash, or more accurately the hyphen, is the only special character allowed in a domain name (putting aside IDNs and Emojis), and represents the only way you can put a space between words in a domain.
5. GANDI SUPPORTS: Protect our children from school bullying thanks to H.U.G.O.
The French non-profit H.U.G.O. supports the fight against school bullying and acts to educate, counsel familes and children, and implement trainings.
6. Promo roundup
