I am looking to migrate a bunch of domains. I am searching for a registrar with good reputation and ethics. Ideally one that is unlikely to be blackmailed by foreign governments to punish individuals with a if-you-want-to-continue-business-in-our-market... threat. I am EU/Germany based. I learned that gandi.net may no longer live up to its former reputation.
Thanks for any pointers and opinions!
Just looking through my list of registered domains, comprising .uk, .co.uk, .com, .net and .cloud and itβs amazing how much pricing differs between registrars for the same domain extensions. Currently mostly registered with Porkbun (which I find great) but am looking at non-US options - theyβre all more expensive though. Boo! π

@EMDiscussions No mention of Gandi? There's a surprise! Perhaps they'll do a list of the 10 worst! π
