- BrandiATMuhkuh 2y agoYes that's true. Just yesterday I bought a new domain through them. I'm surprised about their slowness. Again, 2 days ago I sent a request via their web-form and less than 24h later it was resolved. Disclosure: I know the founder (Lenz).
- MortyWaves 2y agoIs Lenz happy with how he operates his company?
- willvarfar 2y agoThe GP says they were acquired a few years ago. So the question should be if Lenz is happy with how those who brought his company are now running it? Of course that is not the kind of question that a founder should ever answer candidly on the internet :)

- BrandiATMuhkuh 2y agoCorrect. The company was sold many years ago. So I have no idea if he is happy
- jomar 2y agoAs noted above, what used to be a cool little Wellington-based company got bought by some offshore conglomerate. Lenz himself left about five years ago.
- conradfr 2y agoThe same thing happened to Gandi.
- officialchicken 2y agoGandi went sour when the original French company was forced to open a separate company for the US several years before being sold. IIRC it was related EU privacy but they publicly stated it was about credit card processing.
- KingOfCoders 2y agoDidn't know, could you explain how a French company is forced to open a US company because of EU privacy laws?
- em-bee 2y agointeresting, do you have a link to more details on why the split company was needed and how it affected using them?
- Algent 2y agoIt's crazy how downhill Gandi went in 2 years. Went from decently priced French registar to basically asking for 70€ a year for a mailbox and lately asked me for over 40€ to renew a dot dev domain. I ended up transferring all my domains due to this.
