I just had a different problem where it wouldn’t let me add two different credit cards for payment. I don’t like paying for a service relationship where I have to do so much work, so I transferred my domains out of Gandi.

This kind of screwup has a cost. I’m sure my few domains are barely a rounding error, but I’m not going to recommend them anymore, either. It’s just not worth it.

@sean Ah! So that's what it was on the weekend.

@derickr @sean Yeah, I need to go update my payment methods in Gandi.

@ramsey @derickr Know what’s only slightly harder than that? Transferring.

ramsey, 4 months ago

@sean @derickr True. Where would I transfer to? I don’t want to use Route 53 for personal stuff.

@sean @derickr Also, I can update the payment option once in Gandi and apply it to all domains. If I transfer, I have to do it one-by-one for each domain.

aint nobody got time for that GIF

@ramsey @derickr I do; it’s really nice that it never tries to trick me into buying a SSL certificate and has an API. 🤷‍♂️

@sean @derickr Don’t you pay a monthly fee per DNS record for each domain?

sean, 4 months ago

@ramsey @derickr Not per record. Per hosted zone. And it’s included for domains registered in R53, IIRC.

Programmatic access to that, too, including ALIAS records; makes it worth the 50¢ to me, even if not registered there.

YMMV of course. (-:

@sean @derickr Yeah, the ALIAS records are nice, but I moved all my personal stuff to Digital Ocean for ease-of-use.

@derickr Email from them: “We changed our provider on December 26, 2023 and encountered a technical problem during this migration. As a result, we are currently unable to debit your payment.”
