No I shouldn't expect a subpar experience, and that's why I no longer use Gandi.
Claiming not to do shady things with user data is the minimum I expect from a domain registrar. Fortunately, Gandi aren't unique in that respect.
Gandi came highly recommended to me, so I was quite disappointed by the reality.
- dennis_jeeves 6y agoSo who in your opinion is _clearly_ better than Gandi?
- vntok 6y agoOVH, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS... everyone else is much better performance and stability wise.
- djeiasbsbo 6y agoTry njalla, a privacy focused domain provider. It was founded by Peter Sunde, one of the original creators of The Pirate Bay. You can pay with crypto currencies and they even have a .onion domain of their website, so you can reach them over Tor.
- tga 6y agoNjalla is not a domain registrar. They buy the domain themselves, and let you pay with Dogecoins -- possibly a good deal for the next Pirate Bay, but not what I would use for general domain registration. There is a good chance one day they will go down and take your (their!) domain with them. From their website: --- We're not actually a domain name registration service, we're a customer to these. [...] When you buy a domain in our system, we're actually purchasing it for ourselves. We will be the actual owners of the domain.
