The title is a bit clickbaity. The thing most people associate Gandi with, domain name registration, is going up 25-50%. The 1000% is this: > Now, Gandi will raise the prices of the Standard mailbox plan from €0.35/month to €3.99/month per mailbox, a 1040% increase.
Its the choose the number that make things look worse. If the article stated it increased €43 Euros a year, it doesn't sound as bad. Its still a large increase, but not as jaw dropping as the % makes it seem.
Curious if this will impact AWS pricing, as I believe Gandi is one of the main providers behind Route 53.
I would have assumed Amazon did that themselves? Amazon Registrar, Inc. is ICANN accredited.

Much easier to integrate with a reseller and have them do a lot of that for you. Then you can only worry about the big ones (e.g. Verisign for .com), and maybe slowly onboard to additional ones over time.
> 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.
I just completed my email migration away from Gandi this weekend. I figured if I had to really start paying for it, I might as well get something better than their offering or move to something cheaper. If I'm paying ~$4/mo per user, it really starts to seem worth it to spring to something that offers a lot more for similar pricing. Then there's lots of services out there which offer cheaper prices with more features…
Really happy with them, I'm paying 15 USD a year on a recurring black Friday deal. I think that has 50GB storage, which is fine for my usecase.
They have unlimited mail accounts, which is great, as some family members might only send or receive a handful of emails a month...

Lots of people on HN hate Cloudflare... but they're pretty good on prices, UI, and "just works"ness. Their support is also speedy.
I don’t love how they’re a single point of failure for much of the internet, or the amount of power that gives them. But from a user’s perspective their service has been fantastic, especially for how little I’ve paid them.
