I get a lot of “Reserved to the Corporate service” when I try to buy one :/

See my other comment[0] explaining why and when this happens. If you know of a (free) fix let me know! I suspect the .ly TLD might only give out more detailed whois data to large companies...

Hmm that is a new and worrying development with Gandi. 129 domains that can only be bought by paying 45 UKP per month for a Corporate 'subscription'.

It's not new: http://www.gandibar.net/post/2012/10/12/Why-does-Gandi-offer... TL;DR: those TLDs are more expensive because they're a pain in the ass and/or have to be handled manually, at least until they're integrated into our API.
