They were bought by TWS and prices changed suddenly. Many things that were included with domains like email account became paid options, and expansive.
I had a dozen of domains with them for years (more than 15) and made a lot of people go to them. Yet, I moved everything out at that time, and helped friends and acquaintances to move out to. Staying there would have cost me several hundreds of additional euros per year. I move some of my domains to OVH, and some other to Infomaniak (I already had domains registered with both of them and am a very happy customer of both).
Shenanigans are forthcoming, guaranteed. I had 30+ domains with them, a client of 20 years and a true fanboy, referred dozens of friends. I wouldn't touch them with a long pole now. Moved all to Porkbun and INWX.

Google domains was the best registrar while it lasted. Sad that Google killed it.
Gandi used to be great too, with free (or at least very cheap) mail servers too IIRC, then they were bought out...
edit: officially, merged with TWS

Gandi were bought out? By anyone reputable? I've got all my domains with them, I don't wanna get caught up in any shenanigans
