Gandi.net for the last 14 years. Not the cheapest but good service and no upsell.

I concur. Gandi.net has excellent support, predictable pricing, and a reasonably good admin interface. Also, their email reminders (e.g. to renew a domain or verify information) are pretty much plain text and straight to the point, which is all I want.

I'm a Gandi user and but I hate that they insist on leaving my email address in the WHOIS data.

I think that's only certain domain suffixes?

.com domains seem to be obfuscated okay these days...

e.g. https://v4.gandi.net/whois/details?search=davewasthere.com&s...

Hmmm, was the service updated?

I couldn't get my emails obfuscated on .com and .io addresses about 2~3 years ago. Just managed to get it done.

It's probably due to the GDPR. My understanding is that a lot of registrars are removing all personal information from WHOIS due to GDPR concerns.

What's GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation, coming into force on May 25th in the EU.

I use gandi as well for all my domains (about 100). But ever since they switched to the new v5 platform. I've been getting very inconsistent problems. I had to migrate all the domains to the new platform, but every so often I find some domains that haven't been migrated. All on the same account with different handles, which makes it hard to find the ones that haven't been migrated

Totally agree on the new platform - absolutely dreadful.

Otherwise, best I have used - and I've been through all the usual suspects.
