I wonder if it's related to Gandi's recent "merge" with Total Web Solutions. According to a Hacker News discussion, TWS has a reputation for acquiring companies and then raising their prices.
EDIT: It was lobste.rs not Hacker News, and the discussion can be found here: https://lobste.rs/s/flcpop/what_doma...is_worth_using EDIT 2: NOW there IS a Hacker News discussion of the issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35080777 Last edited by Folio : 10 Mar 2023 at 12:51 AM. Reason: Update with new information |

Their website here in the USA doesn't show that change yet. I wonder if the pricing will be regional?

Reviving an old thread. I’m in the U.S. and just received an email similar to Fenman’s. In addition to removing the email accounts that had previously been included in Gandi’s registration fees, Gandi will be more than doubling the registration fees for the TLD I was using.

You can count on price increases whenever a company acquires another. They have to spend money to make the acquisition and they need to earn it back, plus profit, somehow!
