The registrar in question is iwantmyname, so I guess you can add them to your "do not use" list.

I feel like it's better to have a "do use" list for something as important as a domain name registrar.

- Namecheap

- Cloudflare

- Route 53 (if on AWS)

Any others?

Gandi?

>>tucnak+F2
They were sold to another company a year or two ago and now some people are a bit wary

>>jarofg+p3
i just moved all my domains off gandi because they doubled or tripled the renewal prices.

i am guessing they are milking their existing customers who don't notice or don't have the knowhow or resources to move their domains, and once those wise up to that they will lose a lot of them

apart from prices their operation didn't seem to change after the sale. although i only have a few domains so i probably didn't interact with them enough to notice anything else

Damn, that's good info. I have all my domains on Gandi and noticed the pricing changes, but I just stupidly assumed that it was something the registry operators were causing. Sucks to have to leave Gandi, their UX is great, no stupid upselling, very clear website.
