My only experience with Gandi was awful. Bought a bunch of domains from them after they were praised here on HN, was assured that WHOIS privacy is enabled by default and without any extra fees.

Looked up the WHOIS records a minute later, and my phone number, name and email were all there. Those were .com, .org and .net domains.

I think on porkbun they explicitly tell you that some domains like .com do not have the option of enabling WHOIS privacy. So more likely this has something to do with the registrar and not gandi themselves.

Huh, name.com has been hiding my PII just fine for years, for maybe a dozen most popular TLDs...

I have my domains on Porkbun and all info is hidden, including in .com domains. So maybe they saw that with some other tld

Same for my two .re domains. They explicitly show toggle buttons for „email“ and „contact info“ guards and I enabled those. But when you look in the fine print, .re domains cannot hide contact info.

I had exactly the same thing happen. Ended up moving all my domains to another registrar after that happened.
