gandi has steadily been moving to unusable pickpocketing since they were bought out by Total Webhosting Solutions, which immediately did the standard venture capital thing of charging the maximum for everything possible and burn any amount of good will. They've presumably been ratcheting up these fees to try and show a profit and it's only going to continue to get worse as people move to competitively priced options. I can't imagine they're attracting many new customers given the landscape.
I started to do the tedium of migrating away once they announced they would start charging for email and regress services that were once provided for free (which was a large selling part for me). I've been very happy with porkbun + fastmail.
- wormius 2y agoIt sucks that I had to move off webfaction when godaddy bought them, but at least the old dudes from there started opalstack I could use with a similar experience/price and dedication. My friend recommended gandi for the domain service, which was fine for the past few years but now this TWS buyout happened. I was worried when enshittification would ensure, and here we goooo. I think I am gonna check out porkbun, that looks like a decent plan (hopefully they don't succumb to buyouts etc in the future).
- drpossum 2y agoYeah, to be fair Gandi was excellent until the buyout. That free email was such a nice perk
