Gandi?

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

>>jarofg+K
I've noticed that Gandi has become SUPER expensive as opposed to Hover lately as well. I'm just letting domains expire instead.

>>jarofg+K
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.

>>em-bee+m3
I've been doing this too, every time a renew comes around I shift it to Namecheap.

>>tucnak+(OP)
They hiked prices massively so I wanted to transfer away, it was a massive shitshow.

Auth-codes given on the website were expired and they took 2 weeks to give me the correct ones near the end of the registry period.

Support was extremely unresponsive. As this this was a side project I couldn't spent time on every day my domain went into quarantine for a short time. They answered 2 days before the end of the rental period, when requesting the auth codes ~2.5 weeks before.

Will never use them again after this experience.

Porkbun is my new home for most stuff and domains.lt for .lt which porkbun doesn't offer yet sadly.

One of my domains on Gandi was up for renewal. I've noticed they charged ~$140, while Namecheap charged ~$35. Easiest transfer decision I've ever made.

>>tucnak+(OP)
Bought by a private equity company.

Went back on their contract obligations already, hiked prices, etc. Will be milked to death.

Best to consider them dead.

>>input_+v5
wow that's 4 times as expensive!!

seems like gandi didn't just multiply the prices but raised them exponentially.

beware of namecheap though. see >>42364240

>>trissi+h5
Wow, I never knew that to be the case! How would I find a registrar that supports .at LTD? Cloudflare, AWS, Google—neither supports it.

>>tucnak+(OP)
god no - gandi absolutely suck now for both service and price. I moved all my domains to netim.

>>tucnak+z9
From looking through https://www.nic.at/en/my-at-domain/at-partnerfinder the only one that I knew and did not hear shit about seems to be OVH.

Others might be good, but no idea who exactly, many small unknown companies in the list that could be either great or shitty.

>>em-bee+u8
I've read my fair share of Namecheap criticisms over the years and remain unconvinced.

I point my nameservers somewhere else and then forget about Namecheap for a year.

>>trissi+7j
Thanks for Porkbun suggestion, I'll keep that in mind; it doesn't support .at but I'm now tempted to move my other domains there. Gandi used to be good, it's a shame what it's become.

>>tucnak+z9
I'm using dynadot for my .at domains
