Gandi was founded in 1999 and rapidly became the No 1 domain seller in France because of its commitment to strong internet ethics, always putting the customer and the rights of the customer first. This made it unique as an ethical and non-marketing led domain name company, and is still what drives it today. (Learn more about Gandi at www.gandi.net and www.gandibar.net)

We felt this was a great fit with Moonfruit who had a strong vision for enabling people to participate and publish on the internet regardless of their skills and experience.

Since that time both companies have been working hard to make this vision a reality. Gandi has relaunched its services and website, and is rolling out new domain extensions and multiple currency support. Moonfruit has redeveloped a core part of its software to support multiple languages, and will launch the French version in the weeks to come.

With both businesses we aim to offer a home on the internet (your domain name), as well as the means to build your house (SiteMaker), and this is only the beginning.

So it's been a busy year for us, but most of the change is now behind us, and we can concentrate on the future. We hope you'll enjoy being a part of that with us.
