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

Sav.com

Sav competes almost entirely on renewal price — often below wholesale as a loss-leader. The interface is spartan, the math is excellent, especially past year three.

Where it wins

Among the lowest renewals anywhere
Simple, upsell-free checkout

Where it costs you

Bare-bones tooling and DNS
Small team, slower support

Do Gandi and Sav.com include WHOIS privacy?

Gandi: free on eligible TLDs. Sav.com: free on eligible TLDs. Registry rules can make privacy unavailable on a particular extension at either.

How do I move a domain from Gandi to Sav.com?

Unlock the domain at Gandi, ask it for the transfer (auth) code, and start a transfer at Sav.com with that code. A transfer usually adds a year to the registration and is paid at the new shop's transfer price — $10.49 for a .com at Sav.com today. A domain registered or transferred in the last 60 days usually cannot move yet.
