Gandi

A veteran French registrar with exceptionally broad ccTLD coverage. Prices climbed after the 2023 acquisition; the catalogue depth remains its strongest reason to use it.

Where it wins

  • Huge ccTLD catalog
  • EU billing, SEPA, mature ops

Where it costs you

  • Steep post-acquisition price rises
  • Mailbox no longer bundled

Hover

Hover charges more and hides nothing: no upsells, no teaser pricing, famously clean checkout. You pay a convenience premium for calm.

Where it wins

  • Cleanest checkout in the industry
  • Honest flat pricing

Where it costs you

  • Premium prices at every horizon
  • Few promos

Prices fetched from each shop's own published list — Gandi's on 1 Nov 2026, Hover's on 1 Nov 2026 — in US dollars before tax; the currency switcher converts them. How prices are read
