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

Squarespace Domains

The successor to Google Domains' consumer portfolio now exposes its complete standard plan catalogue directly to the public domain-search client. Domain.Guru combines that feed with Squarespace's official TLD rules, so first-year discounts remain separate from the regular renewal and transfer price while multi-year or non-transferable products never enter the annual board.

Where it wins

  • Public USD catalogue with normal and current first-year prices for hundreds of TLDs
  • Free WHOIS privacy and a polished standalone domain dashboard
  • Official TLD guide documents minimum terms and transfer exclusions per extension

Where it costs you

  • Pricing is usually higher than domainer-first registrars
  • Some country-code transfers follow special rules and are deliberately omitted from comparisons
  • Taxes and available payment methods vary with the buyer's billing location

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