Frequently Asked Questions - Prices



Which TLD do you provide?
(Summary)

You can find the most up to date information regarding this on our relevant page: http://www.gandi.net/tlds.html


How much do you charge for a domain name?
(Summary)



The price to register a domain name in .COM/.ORG/.NET/.INFO/.BIZ/.NAME is 12euros (about $10) VAT (sales tax) excluded. At registration, you can choose for how many years in advance you would like to pay (10 years at most, and at least 1 year for .COM/.NET/.ORG and 2 years for .INFO/.BIZ/.NAME). At each renewal, you will decide how many years you would like to add.


How much is 1 euro in US dollars or another currency?
(Summary)



One euro very roughly equals one US dollar.

You can easily convert 12 euros to any currency using the currency converter at Yahoo ( http://finance.yahoo.com/m5?a=12&s=EUR&t=USD ).

Note that this may differ from the actual conversion rate used by your bank for your credit card.


What after one year?
(Summary)



If the domain name is not renewed, it will be deleted around one month after expiration. From the expiration date on, the domain name will cease to work, as well as the website using it.

Domain names handled by Gandi are NOT automatically renewed. Payments must explicitely be made.

Contacts will receive renewal reminders 30 days then 15 days before expiration, then at expiration (it is thus important that e-mail addresses of billing contacts are valid). However renewal can happen at any time during the life of the domain name. See our link on main page.


What about VAT (sales tax)?
(Summary)

  • If you are an individual living in France or in any other country within the European Union, you will be charged a 19.6% VAT. If you are a company located in France you will have to pay for it as well.
  • If you are a company located in any other country within the European Union you need not pay for VAT but you will have to provide us with the VAT number which has been allocated to you for any intra-EEC trade.
  • If you are not from the European Union you need not pay for VAT.

    Do you charge any additional costs?
    (Summary)



    No. The 12euros registration fee includes everything you will have to pay to register your domain name for one year.
    It includes ONLY registration of your domain name, and not any webhosting.

    Gandi services (like web/email redirections, secondary DNS, custom DNS) are free (included in the fee).

    All changes can be done by yourself through our website and for free. Only in a case of a change in ownership you will need to pay an extra fee (see the Modifications part).


    What if I want to leave Gandi for another registar?
    (Summary)



    All our customers can leave us at their own convenience (before expiration date) and without any additional costs.

    The current expiration date will be extended by one year after the transfer is done by the new Registrar. Thus the remaining registration time is not lost during a transfer.


    How can your prices be so low since the NSI rate is $35 per year with 2 years paid at initial registration?
    (Summary)



    As an ICANN (http://www.icann.org/) accredited Registrar, we pay like any other Registrar, $6 by domain name to Verisign Global Registry Services for management of the worldwide domain name database. We think that the domain registration fees are too high and we push for lower prices.


    Can I pay several years in advance?
    (Summary)



    Yes. From 1 up to 10 years. There is no discount, price is always 12euros excluding VAT per year and per domain.


    Do you provide bulk rates?
    (Summary)



    No, we do not offer volume discounts.
    For high volume registrations we recommand you to use a prepaid account. All documentation regarding those prepaid accounts is available at : http://www.gandi.net/faqpro/en/index.html
