Anyone has any opinions on https://www.netim.com/en as a #DNS #domain #registrar ? They seem to be based in Europe, have both TLDs I'm interested in, and apparently prices lower than I've seen in a bunch of others.
Edit: other recommendations also welcome.

I imagine you meant gandi; if it's them, I'd avoid them like the plague - they used to be a great company but got acquired by a fund who promptly and discreetly increased the prices for the sole benefit of their shareholders.
Personally I switched to porkbun, and if you'd rather avoid US-based services, I hear infomaniak is great too.
Hey, I hope to have some opinions on registrars. I have a shortlist of Regery, Netim, Domgate, and INWX for my private domain that I need to transfer out of gandi.
I have heard good things about INWX on here previously, but they are about twice as expensive. Is anyone of the others good, or should I just eat those €50/year to get something that works reliably?
Thank you for sharing any experiences!
I advised gandi.net to some people asking a European domain registrar.
And HOLY SHIT, I had to renew some domain today, and it is BATSHIT INSANE. Somehow, I wasn't impacted before today.
So no, gandi sucks ass since they got acquired by Total Webhosting Solutions.
I'm not going to OVH, because I got many bad experiences with them, directly or told by friends.
So I'm gonna go to my server hoster which is dedibox/scaleway/online.net. Somehow, I never used them as a registrar, but they do it, so, why not.
🤯 It just clicked with me that the first domain that I ever registered (and still use for most things, including email) is going to turn 30 this year.
That's a relic from the era where (IIRC) registering one involved sending specially formatted emails to Network Solutions, and somehow pay for it with a credit card that I specifically opened for this goal. I had never needed or wanted one until then.

Shouldn't I _own_ it at this point?
