Does anyone here even use Gandi anymore since they got acquired and hiked their prices to the moon? They want $40/year for a .com now, it's absurd.

There aren't many registrars that support one of the TLDs I use, but I've moved everything else.

What alternative can you recommend?

Porkbun is a solid all-rounder. Cloudflare sells domains at cost so they're slightly cheaper than Porkbun, but the catch is that you're forced to use CFs nameservers so YMMV depending on whether you want that flexibility.

I was just about to grab a few domains so, of course, my previous go-to has since turned to poop. Are there any good registrars left and, if so, who?
