One of my domains on Gandi was up for renewal. I've noticed they charged ~$140, while Namecheap charged ~$35. Easiest transfer decision I've ever made.

wow that's 4 times as expensive!!

seems like gandi didn't just multiply the prices but raised them exponentially.

beware of namecheap though. see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42364240

I've read my fair share of Namecheap criticisms over the years and remain unconvinced.

I point my nameservers somewhere else and then forget about Namecheap for a year.
