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
Infomaniak
A Geneva host that runs its own data centres and publishes a price list most registrars would not: one API call per category returns first year, renewal and transfer across its catalogue, each with its tax-inclusive twin and its own currency label. Swiss prices, Swiss VAT stripped for comparison, and an EU buyer is charged their own country's rate at checkout.
Where it wins
- First year, renewal and transfer all published, across its catalogue
- Every price ships with its tax-inclusive twin, so the basis is arithmetic rather than a claim
- Owns and runs its own Swiss data centres
- Free WHOIS privacy
Where it costs you
- The board here is the Swiss franc list; a US address gets a different and dearer one
- Prices are quoted before 8.1% Swiss VAT, and an EU buyer pays their own national rate on top
- A handful of renewals sit under registry cost and are dropped by this site's guards
- A zero transfer entry is treated as unquoted, not a free annual transfer
Prices fetched from each shop's own published list — Gandi's on 1 Nov 2026, Infomaniak's on 1 Nov 2026 — in US dollars before tax; the currency switcher converts them. How prices are read
