I wouldn't mind a "small premium", but 300% price increase is robbery. Can't imagine that this kind of greed doesn't affect their quality of service.

To add insult to injury they also killed the free mailboxes they used to bundle with domains as standard, so customers who used that feature had to start paying a huge premium for the domain itself and pay even more on top of that to retain access to their email.

  And their mailbox offering is also overpriced. 5.99€/month (and it use to be pricier! they recently decreased the price) for 10Go and very basic email features. Fastmail is 5€ for 60Go, masked email, and a few other things (not in the EU tho).

    I used to pay $5/yr for fastmail but that plan is now $15/yr, but I only get 0.5GB of storage. So it's like $1.05/month!

      I pay $5 a month (50 a year technically) for fastmail and get a 50 gb mailbox and 10 gb cloud storage. How old is your account?

        at least 10 years or so, i think. I'm grandfathered in to the real cheap plan, even though it "tripled" in price in 2020 or so. I can only have one domain, but i get all the other features.

I am transferring all my domains away from them. This is too much of a hike.

  What registar do you recommend? I used Gandi because it was a no-nonsense registar, even if a bit more expensive.

    Cloudflare sells domains at cost, if you can stomach them.

      Porkbun is cheap as well, and has the bonus feature of not being Cloudflare.

        They use cloudflare for DNS, so you'll have to provide your own DNS servers or buy them from somebody else.

    I'm using now a Tucows reseller via eNom.com. So far, it's good although it does not accept my preferred credit card; I had to resort to my debit card for payment (same operator, same issuer bank; go figure). Gandi did not have that kind of issues but then, a 300% price hike certainly made me run from them.
