This is why I live in a society that enforces contracts through a court system. In a functioning society you can’t sell someone a year worth of prepaid car washes and then decide they need to start paying you again 3 months into your contract. Will be interesting to see if this touches the courts and, if so, how it plays out.
Contracts are only as good as the wealth, power, and ability you have to fight in court and ensure they get enforced. Which is why they 1. usually have lopsided boilerplate terms that protect only the powerful party, 2. are usually largely written by the wealthy, powerful corporation, and 3. usually only enforced against the relatively powerless consumer. In the ideal fantasy world, contracts are supposed to be "meet…
I've had great success this way against United Airlines, Toyota, and other bigs.
Even last week they were saying nothing would change, that Gandi remained independent inside Your.online. That may be a new record.
If you believe every acquisition PR saying “but nothing will change at all, we’re committed to run $bought_company as an independent entity” then I have a bridge to sell you! Company A never buys company B to let it do its thing.
Or a ship in Arizona to sell you.
GP and others who believe that should google "our incredible journey" - and look at multiple hits, not just the first few. It has become a meme by now.
Is migrating domains from Gandi to somewhere else easy/possible? I've had the same domain for years, I used to pay like $20 for five years, but then I forgot to renew, and because I let it expire for a few days, now they are charging me $100/year! Sour taste in my mouth about them even before this...
Moving from any registars is possible [1] the process is fairly easy and takes a couple of days . You would need access to admin emails you provided for verification. The process is free as in gandi won’t charge you to migrate but newer registar might , and also if you DNS or other services the new service provider will likely charge for those. [1] for .come .net .org and many other popular ones it is, however for so…
The new registrar will charge a fee and the expiration date of your domain will increase by one year. The transfer fee should be roughly the same as the registration and renewal fees. If anything looks fishy, compare with another registrar (starting with common registrar recommendations you see at HN)

In California at least, a small claim is pretty efficient as long as the claim is more than the modest filing fee. They can't hire an outside lawyer to handle it, either. If they have an inside one they can use that, but anyway. I've had great success this way against United Airlines, Toyota, and other bigs.
Anyone hosting with runbox.com? What can you tell me about it?
So I guess I will be looking for a new email provider. I have a couple of domains with emails + a lot of custom aliases. Don't care for a web UI since I'm using an email client. Anyone hosting with runbox.com? What can you tell me about it?
I haven't seen anything from them yet - do they say anything about forwarding addresses?
Would be really upset if they start charging for the two included mailboxes.
This is why I only use service A for domains. And service B for emails.
