I've hosted my domains with Gandi for some years, but they were recently acquired by a company that I don't trust, and the cost of domains has gotten pretty high. If you use a registrar you're fond of who supports Yubikeys, who are they?

@waldoj 100% Cloudflare. No question.

@maxfenton But you have to use Cloudflare DNS, right?

@waldoj Mmmaaaaaaybe. I know you used to and I know I do. But I don’t know if you still have to. You probably still have to.

@maxfenton AFAIK, you do, and I don’t like mixing those two things. I think we once had a domain go down where the registrar was also the DNS provider so we couldn’t do anything about it? Or maybe that was just my problem years later, idk. Anyway, now I like to keep them separate.

@waldoj What? Oh no! Gandi has been my registrar for many years.

@theory Yeah. :-/ If you’re happy with the prices, maybe don’t switch yet? Maybe their acquisition won’t ruin them?

@waldoj They seem to say the right thigns here. https://www.gandi.net/en-US/about-us

@waldoj But yeah, renewals today were $25

@theory I know one way to save money would be to let some domains expire, but, uh… 😣

@waldoj i use dynadot, you can set your account to use yubikeys but they’re not set by default. their prices are fair but they don’t support the more esoteric tlds, their customers are mostly it seems people who buy tens of domains at a time, so lots of bulk registration deals that don’t make sense for me but i think i’ve been using them for nearly 20 years now 😅😬💀
