Just to be clear, Microsoft and Google don't back up their e-mail services, it's a common misconception about "cloud" services.
In 2011, Gmail accidentally some people's email and restored it from tape. https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/02/gmail-back-soon-for-eve...

#332As some comments have mentioned the pricing will increase for domain names too, not very explicit in their email on Tuesday evening "Gandi.net - Update": Domains We remain committed to offering you the largest portfolio of TLDs, customized TLD suggestions and best-in-class anycast-level primary DNS servers. In addition, we will step-up our effort to unburden you by introducing new managed features: Advanced and easy…
Domains are the keys to the internet atm, it would be nice to see someone take it seriously.
Edit: I guess I'll try realtimeregister, since I haven't seen anything negative and they support U2F per Yubikey's catalog.
Edit2: Cool, cool, when you sign up they assign you a non-random password which anyone can use to log in and view your personal information.
Edit3: Others with u2f support that aren't MAMAA: Cloudflare (close), OVH, DNSimple (accounts are $60/year)

`My bad. I assume the mail you sent was after reading a communication made for clients paying in £. You're not impacted by this communication.
We’re currently reviewing our general conditions and pricing policy in each currency given the fluctuation for the latter which means changes won’t likely be the same for each currency.
Should a change occur for you; you'll receive a mail from us.`
I asked them to confirm the free email isnt being removed for US customers yet, and if it does a email will be sent out.
their reply
`I can only confirm what I shared with you above.`

Infrastructure best practices have gone out the window, haven't you heard? Most people who use AWS/$cloud_service use it for everything, best practices be damned. Many new projects start their working thinking about how to scale, before making it simple and before having paying users.
> thinking about how to scale Having a good plan for scaling is absolutely a great move. Changing fundamental architecture later isn't easy. Implementing it all immediately however ..

Oh hell no. Hover used to be good, but have turned into a shit show over the last 12+ months. Definitely avoid them, and if your domains are important then migrate them elsewhere. Several reports of problems, including from me: * https://twitter.com/densone/status/1625378937047027719 * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34786465 * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34788210 <-- mine
Sorry for your luck, but based on your posts and your twitter, you already had other security issues. That's not hovers fault.
(Btw, I don't have a Twitter, so good luck with that. :))
Let me guess, you work for Hover or used to?
Or maybe you just needed more coffee/sleep/something before replying? ;)

In California at least, a small claim is pretty efficient as long as the claim is more than the modest filing fee. They can't hire an outside lawyer to handle it, either. If they have an inside one they can use that, but anyway. I've had great success this way against United Airlines, Toyota, and other bigs.
Here in Indiana, in many jurisdictions companies have to hire outside counsel to go to small claims. This means that it can be quite expensive to litigate for businesses against legitimate small claims.

Shame because they're good registrars. I wonder why the European requirement though (since the TLDs themselves are ultimately governed by the registries and you can always use your own - or third party, EU based - name servers).
Because of GDPR, it’s so much simpler so have a host within the EU than elsewhere and especially simpler than having one in the US

As a long time customer, I would recommend Namecheap. I was trying out Gandi since a couple months. On the bright side, they have a lot of additional international TLDs, but that's about it. Gandi has been noticeably more expensive when comparing equivalent domains.
Strong disagree. Migrated off namecheap after their support left a bad taste in my mouth. Also they had a data breach and did NOT notify me as a customer of theirs. https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/116j7iq/fyi_namech... https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/namecheaps-em...

Maybe edit the original in case there is someone with that actual name?
Both exist. Trivia time: Laeticia (née Laetitia) was married to Johnny, the famous French rock singer; Estelle was married to David, son of Johnny. Note that Johnny is dead now, Laeticia has been remaried twice but kept Johnny's last name, Estelle is divorced, and David is not the son of Laeticia as Johnny got married several times (David's mother is the French actress Sylvie Vartan).
