Yeah, what the heck happened to Gandi? It used to be my go-to, but nowadays... yikes!

They got sold to private equity, unfortunately. I switched to Bookmyname (by Scaleway) for some TLDs, and Infomaniak for others.

Can we trust Cloud registrars like Bookmyname/Scaleway, Amazon Route 53, Cloudflare more than Namecheap, Gandi and co?

I think that it's a good thing when domains aren't their main source of income. It gives them more incentive to provide good, stable experience and pricing.

More than what Gandi was? No.

More than what Gandi is now? 100%

Wait, If I remember correctly, I think its possible to now buy domains from scaleway directly within their interface

https://www.scaleway.com/en/domain-names/

Could be very interesting for the people who love/host on scaleway.

Scaleway is a good company fwiw imo.

Private equity cancer, same as Namecheap.

Reddit's r/namecheap is also full of horror stories.
