Network Maintenance overnight 19-20 November
We will be performing a major network maintenance operation during the night of 19 to 20 November in order to further improve our infrastructure. This maintenance will commence on 20 November at 01:00 AM CET and finish at 07:00 AM CET. During this time, three connectivity outages are expected, each lasting approximately one hour and will impact most Gandi services. All hosting operations will be suspended throughout the maintenance period. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.

Hosting: Launch of multiple IP addresses for your servers
Hello, Today we are giving you the possibility of managing your own interfaces. You may configure up to 4 interfaces per server automatically. To add additional interface, you will need to add additional IP address quota via your available resource management interface. Each additional IP address costs €1 excl. VAT per month when paying monthly, and you can benefit from up to 2 free months when you choose annual payments (or €10 excl. VAT per month for each additional IP address). This new function will soon allow us to provide you with some really cool options such as an IP failo

Accented .EU domain names - pre-reservations have started!
From December 10th 2009 EURid, the registry that is in charge of the .EU zone, will allow domain names to be registered that include accented characters for the first time. This is of course a great benefit to the 28 countries of the European Union where accented characters are very common: http://www.eurid.eu/en/eu-domain-names/idns-eu. There will not be a Sunrise period to guarantee protection of existing trademarks. The registry has chosen to use the "first-come, first-served" approach. This means that if you already own a domain name in its unaccented ver

Your server on IPv6?
Today we are opening the beta-test phase for the implementation of IPv6 on our hosting platform. As a reminder, IPv6 is the successor to the current IPv4 upon which the internet is based, and given the generous attribution of the early IP addresses, the IPv4 address space is rapidly running out of available adresses. Its replacement is gently making its appearance across the internet.  An IPv6 address is made up of 128bits as opposed to 32bits for an IPv4 address.  We are moving from 2^32 available addresses to 2^128 (excluding reserved allocations, of course) which gives us a few decades.. erm.. centuries to breathe!

Stay Tuned! .AM and .FM domains are now available
We are pleased to announce that Gandi now manages .am and .fm domains. These ccTLD, while being the official extensions for Armenia and Micronesia, are frequently used for online radio stations, and who among us has not listened to internet radio? I know I enjoy the benefits of seeing the name of an artist while playing, having a personalized playlist at work, or even just having a higher quality of sound than the old analogue radio. They were so 20th century More and more radio statio
