Moved all my stuff to porkbun.
Gandi was looking great a few years ago. Now they just milk their customers, calculating that many will be too lazy to leave. I was surprised how easy it is these days to move a domain. Hope porkbun won’t play the same game on me 5 years from now.

I'm not happy with a 60% price raise but it's still complete peanuts to me. And only half of my domains are at Gandi. It's lame of me but I'll probably just pay.
- leobg 2y agoYeah, in my case it’s not about .com domains. Last year they also removed their free included email hosting and asked some ridiculous price to not delete my mailboxes. So it’s more that I’m no longer expecting good things to come from them. but, on the contrary, bad things, and a requirement of having to make decisions about things that I thought had been “set and forget”.
- NewJazz 2y agoWhy stay? A domain transfer is cheaper than continuing service. What justification do they have for a 60% price hike (which is likely a much higher increase in their margin over the registry + ICANN fee)?
