1. DOMAIN: Does Gandi own the domain I want?

So you’re ready to launch the project you’ve been pouring your heart into, but the domain name you wanted seems to be “already registered.” And when you do a WHOIS search you see the registrar is Gandi. But does Gandi really own this domain name? How can you find the real owner? And how do you contact them? It’s easy to get lost amongst the registries, registrars, WHOIS, and domain owners. Let’s demystify it all once and for all.

2. HOSTING: A one-click Christmas list: the one-click family grows

Prestashop, Nextcloud, Matomo, WordPress, GravCMS…This year has been full of new additions to our catalog of one-click applications. Automated and installable in a few minutes on your Simple Hosting instance, these applications can help you with any web projects.

3. DOMAIN: 4 new domain endings are open!

Good news! Now .contact, .makeup, .quest, and .lu are open to everyone! Previously subjected to certain eligibility requirements or a required minimum number of characters, each can now be freely registered on a first-come, first-served basis. So don’t delay!

4. 20th ANNIVERSARY: Gandi is celebrating the holidays with .best

Gandi’s 20th anniversary continues, and for the holidays, we want to treat you with a memorable prize. No less than 5 PlayStation 5’s have been won thanks to our partner .best, but also more than 3,000 domains and a hundred t-shirts. But as special as this month’s prize is, so is the brainteaser harder to solve. Though many of our super sleuths had a slow start, we finally got some winners thanks to the clues! The brainteaser is still available, but only for posterity. Come back January to try win new prizes!
