I've been using Gandi for the last decade but I'm looking at rolling over to porkbun. I was initially attracted to them being in a privacy-friendly country as well as competitively priced and included free email accounts that suited my limited needs. They got bought out a few years back and things have been badly degrading in terms of offerings vs price. They're now completely ditching any free email later this year and the renewals have skyrocketed in price. They've also started sending off awful and obvious customer retention emails about how much they value me as a customer (despite, you know, showing nothing but contempt for my wallet).

Well said, I've also been using Gandi for quite some time now. I recently moved a .com domain over to Cloudflare. However, I'm still using them for some ccTLDs that Cloudflare doesn't yet support.

Same here - I just moved my project domains from Gandi to NearlyFreeSpeech after a decade or so. All of the reasons I chose Gandi originally have disappeared and they keep raising prices while cutting features. Sad times, I really liked them.

I switched to Gandi over a decade ago because they were in a non-US jurisdiction, had proper 2FA and reasonable policies. The recent buyout is why I started moving over to Porkbun (I also have a Cloudflare account, but don't want to host my DNS with them).
