Any idea how reputable Gandi is? They have worked well for me for a long time but I have no idea about the management. They were recommended years ago when I wanted to dump Network Solutions for various reasons.

@w_b @alice @Fpccraig extremely fucking not. Do NOT use Gandi. It has long since been acquired by vulture capital and has become increasingly shitty both in quality and ethics as a direct result of those sales. Prices are going skyrocketing every year with quality and honesty going off a cliff.

@w_b @alice @Fpccraig if you are looking for a non-US company, I can and do recommend INWX.ch (available in English.) I'm not a huge fan of the new site, but their service and support has been top notch. When I was having issues with AXFRs, they didn't hesitate to escalate to engineering, confirmed a documentation problem, and got it fixed quickly.

Netcup is also a good option, though they're more focused on VPS than registrar. However, they have more US exposure potentially.

Fortunately, I only have DNS/dnssec with them. Price has gone up but isn't much more than non-intro price at inwx.

I use Migadu for my mail hosting. I am considering a move there to get 2fa. I'm open to suggestions here.
