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 They were stable, until they were sold / got bought and "flipped" by a PE company:

"On 28 February 2019, Gandi CEO Stephan Ramoin announced that private equity firm Montefiore Investment had acquired the company.

In February 2023, Gandi was acquired by Total Webhosting Solutions, forming a new brand, Your.Online. In June, the company announced drastic price increases, including a new monthly fee for mailboxes previously included for free."

@w_b For context, I am one of the many customers that ran away from them after a decade+ of being a happy customer, so it was more than "Oh, LMGTFY". Quoting the snippet of Wikipedia was the quickest way to summarize "why?"

Carry on :)
