#12Whats a good alternative now, I have a few domains with them..
Lots of people on HN hate Cloudflare... but they're pretty good on prices, UI, and "just works"ness. Their support is also speedy.

#13I'm glad I jumped ship when they got bought out by a shady company with a history of price gouging.
I like porkbun for personal stuff, dnsimple for work

#14> Now, Gandi will raise the prices of the Standard mailbox plan from €0.35/month to €3.99/month per mailbox, a 1040% increase. This headline reads as if the company is just destroying customer wallets a La Reddit API customers until you get into the details. There are premium email clients that charge way more than EUR3.99 per month.
Reddit API costs along the line of €2.50/month for providing read/write access to terabytes of targeted content. Less than the new Gandi pricing for a mailbox.

No, it costs much, much more if you actually tried to read out terabytes of content…

I'm very happy with Namecheap. The prices are very reasonable (though I confess I have never really shopped around), the UI is functional and largely gets out of your way and lets you do what you want.

I like OVH for domains

#18I left Gandi a year or so ago with the couple of domains that I had there, since they had a decent markup over cloudflare’s wholesale pricing.
Was easier than expected to port my config — I was especially nervous about the nameserver config since I use one of those domains for my primary email address everywhere. But yeah totally smooth, there is almost zero friction to change domain registrars… I’m surprised that companies can mark up on pricing at all without their margins getting entirely competed away to nearly zero

#20Curious if this will impact AWS pricing, as I believe Gandi is one of the main providers behind Route 53.
