We're getting bitten by this in the Netherlands as well. Two domain registrars, PCExtreme and Neostrada, merged with Versio, and Versio is now owned by TWS. My company has domains registered with Versio (and PCExtreme and Neostrada), but the control panel was showing multiple domains wrongly flagged as 'processing', and actually getting through to customer service takes the better part of day by now. I'm not looking forward to our domains getting migrated due to these mergers. Start looking for alternative registrars if your domains are hosted by Versio, Neostrada, or PCExtreme! The competent staff of PCExtreme and Neostrada seem to have evaporated in these mergers.

  Any suggestion of a good serious independent European registrar?

    I wish I had something useful to recommend now, but we've only just started looking.

    I am happy with OVH. Only bit that’s missing is IPv6 for dynamic IPs.

      doesn't OVH require ID verification after you pay? and then run off with your money if they don't get it at least, that is my experience

        I had to identify by ID iirc because I wanted a .eu domain which is restricted to EU citizens. But I had to give the ID upfront.

        I wanted to purchase a VPS and they took my money before asking for ID. I refused to give them an ID that I didn't have (because I don't have one) and they kept my money and refused to provide service. So at least don't get a VPS unless you're ready to give ID, heh.

        I had a dedicated server for.. 4 months? or something before they suddenly required a scan of my ID before they would let me renew. Really weird and annoying. No abuse complaints or anything awry I was doing with it either :/

        Sounds like a wonderful reason for a chargeback.

  Is it printed so much money that they just buy up everything and jack up the prices?
