1. Simple Hosting WordPress: a new Gandi service
2. Buy a .fr before September 30, get a .best free
For any .fr domain name you register between August 5 to September 30, 2019, you can get its .best equivalent for free. See if the domain you want is still available.
3. Gandi supports Exodus Privacy
The “Gandi Supports” program really demonstrates the values that Gandi holds dear, especially when it comes to the protection of private data. One of the projects Gandi supports is Exodus Privacy. This platform analyzes Android apps and lists any trackers embedded in them. A tracker is a piece of code that collects information about users and what they do. Read our interview with Lovis IX, cofounder, and Codimp, sys admin about their experience with Gandi.
4. Gandi at Rustconf 2019
Arthur from Gandi US had the good fortune to attend Rustconf this year in Portland. See his takeaways from the conference.
5. Four ways to use new TLDs to promote your business
A TLD is a top-level domain, the part of a domain name that follows the dot, and it’s not just .com and .org anymore. New domains like .tech, .online, and .store offer creative domain name options. Radix’s Eshan Pancholi shared with us his top four ways to promote your business with new domains.
Get his recommendations here and put them to practice.
6. IaaS, PaaS, SaaS: useful terms to know
Cloud computing consists of making a set of computers, networks, and software available for use. There are, broadly, three service models for cloud computing that respond to the varying needs to businesses and individuals: IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. These terms, while easy to understand for cloud computing initiates, are confusing for beginners.
What services are included in these different models and who are they for?
7. Promo roundup
A whole herd of new promos have come stampeding in since the last newsletter, so we’re rounding ’em up here for you. First off, it’s time to do some shopping with .shop, .blackfriday, and .christmas all at a low price this month. Or if you’d rather travel, .alsace and .eu are both on sale. If you’re more into creativity and knowledge, .ink, .design (extended until the end of the year) or .wiki might be more to your liking.
Other promos are also currently available or will be soon, so don’t forget to consult our Promo page to find them!
