      I was a happy Gandi customer, but now they got sold and domain prices will rise and they removed the 2 free emails per domain from April, and if you already had them, well you'll either have to pay or migrate emails.

      They were already quite expensive, so this move does sound bullshit to me, unfortunately.

      I was reading on NameSilo and Porkbun, any feedback on them? Any other suggestion outside of Cloudflare and OVH?

          I'm surprised to hear any Cloudron user was taking advantage of that anyway. I guess for of Cloudron clients or something?

          I'm a very happy Gandi customer and have never used their free email anyway, so I'll be staying with them. 🙂

            Wait, what?

            I didn't spot that bit in their recent email about prices and emails etc.

            Shall have to investigate...

              Found some info here:

              https://12ft.io/proxy?&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pehubeurope.com%2Fmontefiore-investment-sells-majority-stake-in-gandi

              BTW https://12ft.io is awesome - removes most paywalls by serving up a Google cache of the page (because of course people want the Google crawler to be able to access and index their site, even if they have a paywall)

              More info here:

                I use namesilo and have no complaints. Cloudflare is a must if you want dns automation. I’m waiting on Bunny DNS to mature enough and maybe it’ll get added to Cloudron’s api list.

                  No it isn't.

                  Thankfully Cloudon automates DNS with load of different providers (including Gandi) who haven't massively centralised the web and don't have access to all your data the way Cloudflare has and does. 🙂

                    @jdaviescoates cf is the only option for me bcz of price, speed, and proxy support.

                      @humptydumpty fair enough.

                      But I think most people don't need it and would be better off using one of the many other domain provides that Cloudron integrates with.

                      This is the current list from the docs:

                      Cloudflare DNS
                      DigitalOcean DNS
                      Gandi LiveDNS
                      GoDaddy
                      Google Cloud DNS
                      Hetzner DNS
                      Linode DNS
                      Name.com DNS
                      Namecheap DNS
                      Netcup DNS
                      Route53 DNS
                      Vultr DNS
