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.
I basically only have to interact with them when we need to make DNS changes. The web UI seems fine, especially in the advanced view, but our biggest zones are managed through opentofu, so I can see how changing a large zone would be frustrating.

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.

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.
And their mailbox offering is also overpriced. 5.99€/month (and it use to be pricier! they recently decreased the price) for 10Go and very basic email features. Fastmail is 5€ for 60Go, masked email, and a few other things (not in the EU tho).
So it's like $1.05/month!

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.
I am transferring all my domains away from them. This is too much of a hike.

What registar do you recommend? I used Gandi because it was a no-nonsense registar, even if a bit more expensive.
