Newsletter March 2019

“A watched pot never boils.” But look away for just a second and you’ll find the still water transformed into a roiling boil.

This month at Gandi, we’ve hit a boiling point ourselves, with a few big changes that feel just as sudden, but are in reality the result of careful work, accumulating over time.

2. Looking back (and forward) at .dev
3. Five new features on Gandi v5!
4. An in-depth look at Gandi’s security solutions

Also, .dev launched, ushering in a new era of domains for devs. Next, we’ve introduced five new features this month on Gandi v5 that have been a long time coming, and finally we gathered together in one place all the ways you can keep your domains secure at Gandi for an in-depth look at our security solutions.

1. For Gandi, the future is now!

This month, we announced that Gandi is entering a new phase as we change investors.

Stephan Ramoin and all the Gandi team are here to explain it to you, in full transparency, in this Gandi News article.

 

2. Looking back (and forward) at .dev

It’s no longer a secret—.dev is one domain that’s made a real splash, and has been a success!

Here are a few numbers—more than 100,000 .dev domain names have been registered with more than 4,500 of those at Gandi.

Still need yours? Don’t hesitate! To make your choice easier, we’re offering reduced prices on .dev domains bought in bulk. And because the entire .dev top-level domain (TLD) is on the HSTS preload list, you might want to use our new https web forwarding feature with it.

 

3. Five new features on Gandi v5!

More good news! Our teams have been working very hard to bring you the latest features, and this month we have five new features to report on that just might make your life easier:

• Custom domain configurations, HTTPS forwarding, and ALIAS records
• V5 tags and a new WHOIS

But you don’t have to take our word for it, log in to your Gandi.net account and try them out for yourself.

 

4. An in-depth look at Gandi’s security solutions

Security has always been an important issue for us at Gandi. Since our company began, we have strived to keep up to date on the latest best practices in the field so that we could in turn provide you with the best tools to secure you domain names.

This has mostly meant putting strong security precautions in place, both for our internal tools as well as those we offer to our customers, as well as the deployment of products and features that let our customers implement their own robust security strategies. Find out what that’s entailed in this Gandi News article from this month.

 

5. Promo roundup!

Nine new promos have cropped up since our last newsletter! This month, take advantage of promos on .global, .shop, .film, .design, among others, and get ready for .inc!
