Re: Gandi.net – Pricing Update
#2The text in the link was sent to Gandi users via email today, although they purposefully buried the significant domain registration price increases with the GandiMail bs text.
The actual price increases are listed here[0].
For example, currently a .com domain can be renewed for $17.75/year (tax inclusive - I personally renewed a .com domain for the maximum of 4 years tonight). After the increase this will be $23.99/year (26% increase).
I've been a long time (sometime prior to 2007) Gandi customer and ignored previous discussion concerns[1], but this will be the last time I renew my domains with Gandi. The v4->v5 user interface change was painful at first, but they have fixed most of those UX issues - at least as far as the DNS support, which is all I really use. But their service is definitely not worth the premium.

#3No forewarning, no post on the website, no justification, and the nasty news buried in the middle of unrelated text. It appears designed to deceive.
“No bullshit” is no more. https://www.gandi.net/en/no-bullshit
That promise is what justified their slightly higher prices. With it broken, I have no reason not to transfer to a less expensive registrar. So that I’ve now done, and Gandi can try to win me back next year.

#4What's a good alternative registrar based in the EU?
What an unethical move, they rescind already paid contracts/accounts and the price hike is insane. The went from "no BS" to full of it.
I intend to move all my domains. I also paid for the "premium" email service. But it went from 25€ per year to 86€ ! Domains are also getting a price hike and web hosting too. Time to move

#7Any reccomended alternatives?
I've used them because they seemed the most reputable in the murky world of domain name providers.

$18 for a .com is pricy enough as it is... you can get them for much cheaper.

I quite like Porkbun and IWantMyName - both very much BS-free.

They sent out an email to their existing customers, and the price increase won't be announced til July 13
