#12Does 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.
I use Gandi for dozens of domains. This incident aside, they've been reliable and undramatic, and I don't mind paying a small premium for something as important as DNS.
Has anyone else been impacted by the sale of Gandi to Your.Online [1]? I hadn't even noticed this until the post above, but it at least looks like the acquirer is still a European company.

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?
Cloudflare (at cost), or porkbun

What does Gandi provide wrt DNS that is worth a premium? What do they offer that at-cost domain registrations & free DNS management from Cloudflare do not?

I wouldn't mind a "small premium", but 300% price increase is robbery. Can't imagine that this kind of greed doesn't affect their quality of service.

Well, they’re French. Was it an accident? It’s a matter of taste I guess, but if it was realized the acronym for my company was one letter off from one of the most iconic civil rights leaders of the 20th century, I’d probably prefer not to play off the edge of the name being highly recognizable.

One could argue the polish of their UI/UX is worth it, but not to me. I moved to Porkbun and found the difference a bit frustrating when trying to migrate from Gandi, but that was one time pain.

To add insult to injury they also killed the free mailboxes they used to bundle with domains as standard, so customers who used that feature had to start paying a huge premium for the domain itself and pay even more on top of that to retain access to their email.
