How can I purchase domain names by e-mail?
To purchase a domain name by e-mail, once your professional account has been created and is activated, you must send us a PGP (short for Pretty Good Privacy) signed e-mail to our automated address, secure@gandi.net, with the key that you have registered with your account. All the fields that can be used are available for viewing at the page, "Syntax Summary".Below is an example of the correct syntax for the creation of 2 domains:
action:creation <= type of operation reseller_handle: AB18-GANDI <= required owner_handle:new_handle <= to create a new owner owner_type: individual <= individual or company owner_organization:Supercompany ets <= company name owner_firstname: John owner_lastname: Doe owner_brand:12162099 <=for .FR domains owned by association owner_siret:123456789 <= for .FR domains owned by companies owner_birthdep: 75 <= for .FR domains owned by individuals owner_birthcity: Arras <= for .FR owned by individuals owner_birthdate: 1976/03/06 <= for .FR owned by individuals owner_birthcountry: FR <=for .FR owned by individuals owner_address-1:1701 Fairchild Avenue owner_city:Iowa City owner_state:Iowa<= if relevant owner_postal-code:52245 owner_country:US <= 2-letter ISO country code owner_email:johndoe@example.com owner_phone:+1.5551231234<= international format owner_fax:+1.5551231234 tech_handle:AR41-GANDI <= here we use an existing Gandi handle admin_handle: same_as_billing <= this command is also possible billing_handle:new_handle <= command to make a new Gandi handle bl_name: John Doe bl_address-1:1701 Fairchild Avenue bl_postal-code:52245 bl_city:Iowa City bl_owner_state:Iowa bl_country:US bl_phone:+1.5551231234 bl_fax:+1.5551231234 bl_email:johndoe@example.com bl_password:123456 domains0:mydomain.com <= domain(s) to be purchased with these settings domains1: myseconddomain.net ... domains9: myninthdomain.net<= you may specify up to 10 domains ns0-domain-name:a.dns.gandi.nett <= primary DNS for the above domains ns0-ip-address: 217.70.179.40<= IP address of the primary DNS ns1-domain-name:b.dns.gandi.net <= secondary DNS ns1-ip-address: 217.70.184.40 ns2-domain-name:c.dns.gandi.net <= you may specify from 3 to 6 servers ns-ip-address: 217.70.182.20
If the syntax of your e-mail is correct, you will receive a confirmation e-mail saying that your order is being processed. This e-mail will resemble the following:
