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.

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
