The renewal gap is the whole story

Gandi's .com registers at $11.00 but renews at $38.38. That gap matters more than the first-year figure. Across a five-year ownership span, the effective annual cost is roughly the renewal rate, not the teaser. Many registrars use a low first-year price to pull in customers and recover it later. A domain you plan to hold for years should be evaluated on the renewal figure. A short-term project benefits from the cheaper first year. Just don't confuse the two when comparing registrars.

A catalog of 979 extensions, from the cheap to the obscure

Gandi's catalog spans 979 extensions, which is substantially larger than average. It sells the cheapest extension at .click for $1.99, and it also carries .whoswho, its most expensive listing. For someone managing a portfolio with a niche TLD, that breadth is the practical advantage. Many registrars stop at a few dozen extensions, so this is where Gandi distinguishes itself. A regional ccTLD, a new gTLD, or an oddity like .whoswho — there's a good chance Gandi has it.

The real cost of a .com

With the renewal at $38.38, a .com at Gandi is not a bargain when you look past year one. The first year at $11.00 undercuts many registrars, but the renewal climbs to $38.38. Holding a .com for three years means paying $11.00 plus two renewals, averaging out to more than the initial price suggests. Registrars that offer flat renewals are the ones worth looking at if you plan to keep the domain. For a single .com, the difference is small, but across many domains it adds up.

Cheap entry point, but check the renewal

The cheapest extension Gandi sells is .click at $1.99. That's an attractive entry for testing a name. But that price is only the first year unless stated otherwise. Always check the renewal rate before you commit. A low first-year price on a niche TLD can turn into a steep fee later, and some obscure extensions have renewals that are multiples of the registration cost. Gandi's renewal gap on .com is a clear example of this pattern. Do the math on what you'll pay in year two and beyond, not just what you'll pay today.

Beyond the price list

Gandi's catalog of 979 extensions includes the usual suspects and a long tail of oddities. A specific ccTLD or a lesser-known gTLD is likely to be found here. That is the practical edge over registrars that carry only a few dozen extensions. The trade-off is the renewal pricing, which on .com sits at $38.38, well above many competitors. So you're paying for breadth and variety. Standard needs — a couple of .com or .net domains — might not justify that cost. Collectors of niche TLDs will find the catalog is the reason to stay.

What Gandi is not

Gandi is not the cheapest registrar for ongoing .com ownership — the $38.38 renewal is the kicker. It is not the place to go if you only ever need one .com and want to minimize lifetime cost. But it is a serious option for anyone who wants a single account with access to nearly a thousand extensions. The renewal gap is a real fact that any honest comparison must include, and it cuts against the initial price. Before you move your portfolio, run a quick total cost over three to five years, including renewals. Gandi's breadth makes it a contender, but the pricing structure means you should enter with your eyes open.
