Gandi was so great, once. No upselling, whois privacy by default before it was normal, good prices. I had a domain with them 25 years ago so I was a longtime customer, but never again.
Good writeup. I only used Gandi as a domain registrar so I was only familiar with the insane cost increases. What a terrible company:
> Gandi now informed them that their email would be suspended unless they paid extra, effectively retroactively changing the terms of a service already paid for.
Hi, just a personal blog post. The sad story of Gandi.net is a textbook example of enshittification, which I think is interesting to talk about, because of the many expectations that were betrayed, and the deeper reflection linking to vampire capitalism. I also report the user-hostile process that I had to undergo in order to migrate away from them.
