A cheap domain name? It’s possible!

In 2007, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) launched a program to expand the domain name system. As a result, in 2013, they opened up new domain name endings, allowing for the creation of many new top-level domains.

Geographical domains (such as ‘.fr’, ‘.co.uk’, ‘.de’, ‘.ie’, etc.) as well as generic domains (such as ‘.com’, ‘.net’, ‘.org’, etc.) are now available alongside new, generic domains, and more niche options. These new domain endings, for instance, give more precise geographical information (such as ‘.paris’, ‘.nyc’, etc.) while others relate to a specific industry (‘.radio’, ‘.hotel’, ‘.bank’, etc.). Companies and brands can even apply to create their own name as a new, dedicated domain ending.

These domain endings offer better visibility online and provide new opportunities for those wishing to adopt a domain name with greater significance.

It is worth noting that some domain endings are more expensive than others and can influence the overall price of a domain name. An expensive domain name with one domain ending may be a cheap domain name with another.

Not all registrars offer the same services alongside domain names. When you purchase a new domain name, look at all the services included with it. Gandi’s domains come with several add-ons. If you have more specific needs, several additional services are available.

Mailboxes, DNS management, technical support, compatibility with various devices… Pay attention to what may or may not be included in the price when comparing cheap domain prices.

Sometimes, a promotion is the perfect solution to save money on your dream domain. Gandi offers promotions on a regular basis, including some that allow you to get a very cheap domain name. Keep an eye out!
