2. Использование ограничения IP для защиты вашей учетной записи
В то время как IP-адрес уже давно считается «небезопасным» для аутентификации, когда в сочетании с другими мерами безопасности, IP-адрес можно добавить еще один уровень безопасности для вашей учетной записи. Так же, как в банкомате карта, ключ u2f, телефон, и другие факторы, которые «что-то вам есть,»IP- адрес может быть украден, поэтому сам по себе, это не достаточно держать свой счет в безопасности. Но вы можете комбинировать его с паролем или другие факторы, чтобы улучшить security.Find вашего аккаунта больше в нашем статья об использовании ограничения IP, чтобы добавить безопасность ваших сетевых учетных записей:

Picking up steam in September

1. #gandiV5: Coming soon
Gandi V5 is, of course, still a work in progress. We still have to get a couple more features ported over to the new platform and while the features on the new platform are in place, there's still some minor tweaks we'd like to make on the interface and site design.
That said, as we're putting these last pieces into place, we're getting closer and closer to completion.
See what's left to roll out and when to expect it: news.gandi.net/en/2017/08/gandiv5-ready-for-takeoff/?pk_campaign=nl-201709-en-uk

2. Simple Hosting S+ now available
One of those pieces we'd like to highlight is that our new SSL certificate management interface is now available on Gandi V5.
Along with the introduction of this new interface, we're also introducing a new Simple Hosting instance size: S+. A size S+ instance allows you to install SSL certificates (not available on size S), without having to upgrade to a size M, which often includes more resources than those who manage smaller websites need, and is therefore not as economical.
Find out how you can benefit from these new possibilities: news.gandi.net/en/2017/08/ssl-certificates-on-gandiv5/?pk_campaign=nl-201709-en-uk

3. Closing FR-SD2: a new migration plan
And looking at our objectives for the rest of the year, now that FR-SD3 is up and running and FR-SD5 and FR-SD6 are on their way, in anticipation of closing FR-SD2 later this year, we're suggesting that those hosting on FR-SD2 start the process of migration now.
Since we first communicated about this closure and the required migration, we've made some tweaks to the process, especially some we made by popular demand after hearing your input.
Follow the new migration plan: news.gandi.net/en/2017/08/fr-sd2-closure-and-migration-plan/?pk_campaign=nl-201709-en-uk

4. Gandi Events
At the beginning of this month, Gandi participated in the APNIC 44 conference in Taichung, Taiwan.
APNIC is the Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre, the regional registry for the entire Asia-Pacific region.
Among other things, Gandi attended talks about the Root Zone KSK Rollover and IPv6 and security.
Read all about Gandi's participation: news.gandi.net/en/2017/09/gandi-participates-at-apnic-44-conference/?pk_campaign=nl-201709-en-uk
And coming up at the beginning of next month, from 5 through 7 October, Gandi will be one of the sponsors of the 12th edition of Paris Web. Several of our team members will be attending, so if you plan on going yourselves, let us know! We'd be happy to meet up.
Sign up for or find out more about Paris Web: www.paris-web.fr/

Last 2016 newsletter, all about milestones

1. ICANN policy update
We start off with no surer indicator of the passage of time than an ICANN policy update.
This time around, the change is two-sided. The downside of it is that changing an email address for the owner of a domain name is now a little more complicated. Such a change is now tantamount to changing the owner of the domain in terms of the authorization required. The upside of it is that ICANN will now allow us as your registrar to act as a designated agent. That means that with some contractual modifications, we will be able to skip the authorization steps and update the email on your account like normal. Unfortunately, that feature is not yet available, but will be soon. www.gandi.net/news/en/2016-11-28/9984-new_email_change_procedure/

2. Recently-delegated TLDs
This month we looked into a few strange interactions between community and TLDs. In particular, that took the form of .free, .food, .box, .cruise, and .boston. Things get a little weird, but don't be afraid. Take a walk on the wild side: www.gandi.net/news/en/2016-12-09/10089-recently-delegated_tlds_december_2016/

3. Two Million Domains Managed
As a quick note on another milestone marking the passage of time, just a couple weeks ago we surpassed two million domains managed at Gandi, out of 728 (for now) TLDs. Which is a good opportunity to take stock of the fact that we now manage more than two million email addresses, close to 50,000 SSL certificates, and a couple of hundred thousand hosted websites and applications. Of course, none of it would be possible without all 121 gandians across four offices on three continents in Paris, Luxembourg, San Francisco, and Taipei. This is the core team that will take us into 2017 towards the next two million domains, which also thanks to you, our customer and fan base, will happen much sooner than the first two million.

4. 2016 at Gandi: A Year in Review
Of course with the year coming to an end along with year end listicles about the craziest things that happened in 2016 and lists of the top everything that came out this year, we threw in our own year-end review, this time looking at Gandi news articles, TLDs released this year and
looking back at our recently-delegated TLD feature. Take a look back at this past year with us:
www.gandi.net/news/en/2016-12-14/10107-2016_at_gandi_a_year_in_review/

5. TLD Release Calendar
Only a couple of TLDs were released this month, but they were both good ones. The highly anticipated .art entered the Sunrise phase and the equally exciting .cam entered the GoLive phase.
  • Wednesday 7 December: .art (Sunrise)
  • Wednesday 14 December: .cam (GoLive)

6. Promo round up
Our promos are 100% organic, free-range, grass-fed, rambling about the open range. But once a month we wrangle them all together in one place so you can take your pick of the herd.
Here's this month's Promo Roundup.:
Ending 31 December:

DPML, .org promo and more

Have you been paying attention?

This month has been full of distractions (though let's not go there). But relax. We're hear to catch you up on what you may have missed at Gandi.

Let's start with a new, limited-time option from Donuts for new gTLDs called DPML Plus. We'll guide you through what regular old DPML is and then see what's changing and what the Plus is for.

Then we'll stop off at .org for an excellent promo that just got going.

After that, in case you missed it, we'll give you a rundown on what we've been up to. We've been busy this past month and this coming one, both inside our offices and outside.

And then we'll see what ICANN's been up to, at least in terms of delegating new strings, with this month's Recently-delegated TLDs update.

And as always, we'll peak at the TLD release calendar and then round up this month's promos.

Anyway we know it's so easy for things to slip by when you're not watching. That's why we're summing it all up here.

1. Changes to Donuts's DPML protection
While it may be of general interest to just about anyone, Donuts's DPML protection programme is mostly of interest to those who own trademarks and want to protect them across new TLDs. If that's you and you didn't catch our rundown of the changes to the programme, we suggest looking into it. At least before the end of the year when things really change.

What it is and what changed: www.gandi.net/news/en/2016-11-07/9765-changes_to_donutss_dpml_protection/

2. Half-price .org domains
Another time-sensitive bit of news that we wouldn't want you miss this month is that .org domains are currently half-price on the first year of registration. Take a look at our full promo roundup below and you'll notice that most of them are new TLDs. It's pretty rare to see such a significant promo on an old standby like .org. And this one's only good for first 5,000 domains created and only goes until the end of the year, so get them while they're still hot.

Get a half-price .org while you can: www.gandi.net/news/en/2016-11-01/9714-half-price_on_new_.org_domains/

3. Events at Gandi
We've had a busy month across our various offices. Here's just a few
things we've been up to.

— Kernel Recipes
Running from September 28 through 30 in Paris, Gandi helped sponsor Kernel Recipes, consisting of three days off talks, totally about 20 talks, plus «lightning» talks. If the name doesn't make it obvious, Kernel Recipes largely revolves around discussion of open source, especially kernel.org.

For photos, videos, and more for this year's event, check them out on the Kernel Recipes site.

— CaliOpen
Since 2013, we've been sponsoring the open source messaging project CaliOpen as one of our premier sponsored projects. This past month, CaliOpen announced that they'd secured financing from BPIFrance.

If you don't yet know of CaliOpen, it's an open source project to make secure electronic communication of all forms easy. For details, check out CaliOpen's site.

— Holberton School
On the US side of things, we've opened our doors up to Holberton School, a project-based, peer learning programming school. We're devoting a portion of our office space in SoMA in San Francisco as a co-working space and we've been glad to see them stopping by.

You can find out more about Holberton School on their website.
Or read the press release or even this cio.com article or more information on the help we're providing.

See photos and videos from Kernel Recipes 2016: kernel-recipes.org/en/2016/all-the-videos/
Check out CaliOpen (in French): caliopen.org/about
Find out more about Holberton School: www.holbertonschool.com/about

4. Events outside Gandi
— M3AAWG Paris
From October 24 through October 27 members of our abuse team based in Paris (they mitigate abuse, not deal it out, in case you were wondering) attended M3AAWG, the Messaging Malware Anti-Abuse Working Group. M3AAWG is a critical part of developing best practices for combating online spam, fraud, and malware online We're happy to be able to participate in M3AAWG meetings and just as previous meetings have taken place right in our neighbourhood in San Francisco, this time our home city of Paris was selected, which is convenient for us.
— ICANN Hyderabad
We've been covering a lot of ICANN related news lately, and maybe that was in part out of anticipation for ICANN57.

ICANN57 just wrapped up in Hyderabad and according to some changes in the structure and rhythm of ICANN meetings approved back in 2014, ICANN57 was a little longer than ICANN56, lasting a full seven days, with two public forum sessions.

While, admittedly, a great depth of material isn't available, a good starting point for anyone who missed ICANN57 but are curious about the meeting is ICANN's blog.

Otherwise, we also use this meeting as a chance to meet face-to-face with many of our partners up and down the domain name food chain, and it was of course great to have that opportunity as well.

As for future events, as the year comes to a close and the winter Federal holiday season approaches, we don't expect a lot of upcoming events. However, keep on eye on our meet up page for The Root Zone [www.meetup.com/The-Root-Zone ], our periodic DNS-themed meet up we
coordinate with CloudFlare.

ICANN Blog: www.icann.org/news/blog

5. Recently-Delegated TLDs
While battles for this month's batch of newly delegated TLDs are long over, in case you missed them, this past month's recently-delegated new TLDs post focuses on the question of who is better suited to be awarded the contract for a new gTLD: an organisation or company already closely
associated with the TLD or a large «portfolio» registry?

Find out how this month's TLDs answer that question:
www.gandi.net/news/en/2016-11-07/9753-Recently-delegated-TLDs-November-2016

6. TLD release Calendar
Not many TLDs will be or have already been released this month, but there are a few. In particular, we wanted to highlight .blog, entering the GoLive phase 21 November. This is a great opportunity to do some one-stop shopping by getting a .blog and attaching it to a Simple
Hosting instance with one-click Wordpress installation (see for
www.gandi.net/news/en/2016-06-22/8575-one-click_wordpress_on_simple_hosting/
more information):

Tuesday 8 November:
  • .makeup (GoLive)

Monday 21 November:
  • .blog (GoLive)

Wednesday 27 November:
  • .xn--fjq720a («entertainment») (GoLive)

Back to school, back to business and back to promos

Update: Price and rule change for .fi
Historically, .fi domains have only been open to Finnish residents and companies, but as of 3:00 AM PDT on September 5, .fi will bust wide open for anyone and everyone. The .fi TLD has lot of good options, too. To lighten the load on anyone who wants to give a .fi domain a shot and to celebrate the new found .fi-dom, we're also running a promotion on new .fi domains.

The release of the new TLD .shop is a little bit more special than the typical nTLD release. That's because one of our long-time partners and resellers, Wizishop, who run an e-commerce platform, have been selected to participate in .shop's Pioneer Program. Gandi supported their application and we're proud they were selected to .shop's «ambassador to France.» We even did a press release to make the announcement that much more official. Read the full press release: fr.gandi.press/135247-wizishop-french-pioneer-on-the-new-shop-frontier

Recently-delegated TLDs
As for the bleeding edge of the new TLD program, there are still a lot of Brand TLDs being delegated right now, but we also found four somewhat controversial TLDs that were quietly delegated this past month, and one in particular that took a rocky road to get there. Follow the drama in full: www.gandi.net/news/en/2016-09-06/9301-recently-delegated_tlds_september_2016/

Gandi is a proud partner once again this year of Kernel Recipes, happening this month in Paris from September 28 through 30. It's already full but you can still follow the live tweet and see presentations online on the event site. Learn about Kernel Recipes: kernel-recipes.org/en/2016/

Spring finally sprang, and so did promos and dataviz

It’s May, which means it’s now full-on springtime in the northern hemisphere. Nature seems like one big information processing system, where the input of so many little packets of code is transmuted into the beautiful output of green sprouts and buds and flowers and debugging is taken literally. Maybe it just means we need to step away from our keyboards more often, but It has us thinking about transformation.

This month, we launch a more expansive look into slamming email scams. We’re also looking at the latest TLDs to be transformed from application to an actual extension in our Recently Delegated TLDs update.

Then, we visualize the domain name transfer process. Going In Depth we briefly explore the history of Public Key Encryption in this month’s Tech Fundamentals. Finally, of course, we end with a look at TLD releases and current and ongoing promos.

1. In depth about Slamming Emails
Last month, we provided a guide on how to spot a slamming email. That launched us into a more expansive look at domain slamming in general, the different forms it comes in, and some additional tips for staying safe out there.

Read our full post here:
www.gandi.net/news/en/2016-05-06/7952-we_need_to_talk_about_slamming_again/

2. Recently-delegated TLDs
In the past 30 days or so, plenty of new generic TLD applications have come to ultimate fruition by being added to the root zone.

The list includes a couple of TLDs that may have been the subject of some wheeling and dealing behind the scenes were delegated to the root, as well as an unexpectedly controversial TLD and more.

Read which strings were delegated:
www.gandi.net/news/en/2016-05-04/7940-recently-delegated_tlds_may_2016/

3. Visualization: Domain name transfer procedure
This month, we planted the seeds of our expertise in all matters domain-related, and put together a visualization that blossomed into quite a neat little project. We have to admit we had some fun with it. This time around, we looked at the procedure for transferring a domain name between registrars (with special attention to the process to transfer in to Gandi, of course).

The result was a visual guide to a quest fraught with peril: transferring your domain name.

Begin your quest:
www.gandi.net/news/en/2016-05-11/8024-transfer_quest_the_domain_name_transfer_procedure/

4. Tech Fundamentals: Public key encryption
From the start, public key cryptography was seen as needed by all and a challenge to military authority.

From Diffie and Hellman through Rivest, Shamir and Adleman, Phil Zimmerman's landmark PGP, we looked at public key cryptography’s flourishing as an invaluable human rights tool and look to the future fruits we hope to see it bear in this month’s Tech Fundamentals.

WebSummit 2015, direct invoices, Bitcoins what? and lots of promos.

1. Gandi at Web Summit 2015
One of tech's biggest get-togethers is happening next month in Dublin and we are super excited, not least of all because Gandi will be there! Web Summit 2015 promises to be at least as awesome as in years past. We're looking forward to the impressively comprehensive roster of speakers (check out Web Summit's site for the list) and of course the pub crawls.

If you're already longing for the Emerald Isle, register a .irish domain before you come to Dublin next month; they're avaiable for just 14.00€ per year until November 10th.

In any case, this is one of the tech events of the year. It's a time not just for fun and meeting up, but a time to think about the future of the web, and to learn about the innovation on the net happening every single day. So, if you're going to Web Summit next month, come look us up and have a drink. If not, why not?! Sign up now!

2. Changes to invoices
Speaking of innovation, we have a couple of our own to announce this month. The first is that we have reinvented our invoicing. Okay, so maybe it doesn't qualify as «disruptive,» more like «way convenient,» in that you'll soon be able to group invoices by month; choose, in your notifications settings, who the invoice should be sent to (like your accounts payable for example), and furthermore, you'll no longer need to be logged on Gandi when following the link to the invoice (again, great for if your accounts payable need that invoice but don't necessarily need access to your domains). Maybe not **The Revolution** in invoicing, but a small revolution nonetheless.

3. Now accepting Bitcoin
And more exciting in the stereotypically dry area of accounting, we wanted to also let you know that Gandi will this week be accepting — in addition to credit cards, wire transfers and PayPal—Bitcoin. Bitcoin is, of course, the cryptocurrency we've been watching for a while now, waiting for the right moment to integrate into our payment system. Now we're happy and proud to say we finally can.

4. Register your credit card with Gandi?
Of course, if your assets are all tied up in traditional, fiat currency, for better or for worse, one of the easiest ways to pay your Gandi orders is with a credit card. Normally, Gandi does not store your card on file and so for every order paid by credit card, you would need to re-enter your card information. But we're here to tell you: there's something else.

Namely, you can register your credit card with Gandi to make automatic payments to your prepaid account. This automatic payment is triggered by any order in progress that cannot be paid from your prepaid account. By default, the amount due will be debited, but you can also set your card to be debited a certain amount. You can also set a security threshold, and if your prepaid account drops below that amount, we can debit your card as well.

You can register a card for this service in the “Billing” section, under “Prepaid account.” From this page, just click on the “Credit” tab, then scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says “Automatic crediting from your credit/debit card”.

World Press Freedom Day, but also a vigil of individual liberties

This is a month of contrasts, where the liberty of the Press is honoured, while at the same time the French government is working to pass a bill that goes against the notion of liberty, but is doing so in its name. Though some may see us as alarmist, many are those that, like ourselves, are worried about the consequences that this law might have if it is declared constitutional.Aside from all this, life goes on, and promos abound at the end of this newsletter, including great promos on popular French extensions. You will also find our usual calendar of new gTLD releases.

1. World Press Freedom Day
There are celebration days for just about everything now. However there
are some that are more important than others. May 3rd was World Press
Freedom Day. This year, it took on a particular importance, since the
word «freedom» has been on everyone's lips recently and is the subject of
many debates that are capital to us, and which call into question
fundamental rights in this period of the opening up of the world thanks
to the internet.

To celebrate this day, and in association with the .PRESS registry, we
are having a promo on the new .PRESS extension, at €14 excl. VAT under A
rates, for every 1-year creation (instead of €69.20 excl. VAT), until
the end of the month of May.
www.gandi.net/news/en/2015-05-03/3977-press_freedom_day/

2. In contrast, the new French surveillance law
On May 5th, the French National Assembly moved forward on the new French
surveillance law project — something that we have been actively working
against since the beginning of April. This bill excludes the
surveillance procedures from judicial oversight and therefore creates a
real breach in the fundamental principles of democracy.

The text will, at present, be sent to the Senate, where it will be
examined in June before being submitted to the Joint Committee of the
Two Chambers. It is only following this negotiation that it will be
presented to the Constitutional Council and subsequently voted on, when
it would take effect.

We will continue working side-by-side with the association «La
Quadrature du Net» and the #nipigeonsniespions movement on this topic,
to try and get the bill modified so that it better respects fundamental
liberties. Internally, we will continue to look for technical solutions
that will provide you with the ability to chose le geographic location
where your data is stored.
