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

Amazon Route 53

AWS publishes registration, renewal and transfer in an official public price document and enables WHOIS privacy by default where the registry permits it. The important extra cost is outside the domain price: registering through Route 53 automatically creates a hosted zone with its own monthly charge.

Where it wins

  • Official public document publishes registration, renewal and transfer
  • WHOIS privacy at no additional charge where supported
  • Useful for portfolios already billed through AWS

Where it costs you

  • A new registration automatically creates a separately billed hosted zone
  • Purchasing and managing domains still requires an AWS account
  • Console is infrastructure-first, not a domainer marketplace
