Best for cheap hosting bundled with a domain and mailbox
Gandi sells hosting that includes a domain, mailboxes and one-click installs, from €2 a month billed yearly. The page states no renewal price, and the two cheapest plans are one site on up to 1 CPU and 512 MB of RAM.
Who Gandi is for
- Fits if you want a domain, a mailbox and a small site from one company
- Makes sense if you want your data kept in France or Luxembourg
Who Gandi is not for
- Skip it if you want a free trial, as none is listed
- Tight if you host more than one site, because Essential and Starter allow one at up to 512 MB RAM
- Watch out: no renewal price is stated, and a banner offers 50% off a first site
- Watch out: support is email and chat only, and prices are in euros without tax

Keep Gandi, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Gandi you would be making servers kept running, patched and backed up for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 35 of the 54 other web hosts grade higher. It costs $26.81 a year.
What you could not
- Servers kept running, patched and backed up for you.
- Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- It plugs into other products, WordPress, Prestashop and Nextcloud among them.
What this rests on. Gandi’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
