Domain registrar Gandi gets bought out, screws existing customers

I have quite a few domains with Gandi, using their email service on a few because I'm lazy and it's free. Not sure when (or if) I'll receive notice of this change. Maybe it's regional? Seems most of the comments show £ as currency.

This is going to burn all of their goodwill they accumulated with the "no bullshit" slogan. I will be swiftly moving all my domains, likely to Porkbun.

Why Porkbun? What makes a good domain registrar these days (almost everyone is or has been acquired by someone doing something questionable)?

I've seen the name around recently on HN and people never seem to have much to say other than they use it and it's well priced -- which means to me it's "boring" and that's exactly what I'm looking for.

A boring company who does 1 thing and does it so well that people dont say good or bad, it's so boring they barely notice it because it gets out the way.

It is not free, it is included with the purchase. I think that is quite a difference.
