📄 Editorial Review

Gandi.net is a long-standing French provider (founded 1999) known first as an ICANN-accredited registrar and later as a multi-product host. They report management of 2.5M+ domains in 192 countries, plus large email volumes and a sizeable corporate domain portfolio. Their catalog spans Domain Names (750+ TLDs), Web Hosting (including WordPress, Nextcloud, PrestaShop variants), GandiCloud VPS, Email, SSL certificates, DNS & Premium DNS, and business-focused Corporate Services and Reseller tools.

Web Hosting (PaaS). Instances include a domain, automatic CMS installers (WordPress/PrestaShop), free SSL/TLS, daily snapshots, Varnish acceleration, and dedicated resources (not classic shared hosting). Supported stacks include PHP, Node.js, Python with MySQL/PostgreSQL. Plans can scale power and storage (up to 1 TB on Business tiers) and are hosted in Europe (France or Luxembourg).

WordPress / Nextcloud / PrestaShop Hosting. One-click deployments pair the included domain with auto-install, SSL, and email options. Nextcloud packages emphasize data control, app extensibility, and scalability; PrestaShop targets small stores with quick setup and module compatibility.

GandiCloud VPS (IaaS). OpenStack-based VPS with public API access, full root, Linux/FreeBSD images, flexible CPU/RAM/disk scaling, UI/CLI/API management (Terraform/Ansible/Cloud-init), hourly/monthly style billing, and positioning for professional workloads and automation.

Email & SSL. Email hosting adds webmail, sync, filters (Sieve), aliases/forwarding, and admin tools. SSL/TLS options range from standard DV to OV/EV with up to $250k warranty; a standard certificate is free with hosting and free for one year with a domain.
DNS. LiveDNS Anycast with DNSSEC, fast propagation, zone templates, AXFR, API, and an optional Premium DNS layer via Cloudflare for higher resilience.

For organizations. Corporate Services provide portfolio audits, transfers, defensive registrations, sunrise/TMCH, homoglyph coverage, acquisitions under NDA, API-driven ops, and multi-currency invoicing—suited to brands and agencies. A dedicated Reseller interface offers bulk/domain lifecycle management, rights delegation, and packaged add-ons.
