Gandi is a long-running French registrar with a huge TLD catalog, included mailboxes on many domains, and a 'no bullshit' reputation on pricing transparency. Strongest when: agencies registering client domains who want email working on day one without extra subscriptions. The main reason to look elsewhere: rarely the absolute cheapest on any given TLD — you pay a little for the included extras and stability.
Alternatives worth considering
- Dynadot
- Cloudflare Registrar
- OVH
- Namecheap
How to choose
Start from the limitation above. If it doesn't apply, Gandi is likely the right call — the included mailbox is quietly valuable: a client domain + working email without a separate Workspace/365 seat for basic needs. If it does, shortlist two alternatives and test free tiers/trials against one real task before paying.
