Cons
Con Can be perceived as lacking professionalism due to the blunt "no bs" tagline
At face value, Gandi's "no bs" marketing slogan and tone may be perceived as unprofessional, especially in the eyes of corporate or otherwise sensitive clients of yours.
Con Whois protection doesn't hide the name
Con No catch all email forwarding
Gandi does not support wildcard email forwarding for undefined addresses.
Con Horrible support
I opened several tickets, but I didn't got ANY response.
Con Difficult, awkward to manage your server's resources
They only provide an upgrade path for CPU, RAM, disk. If you wish to downgrade later, you can't, you must rebuild your server from scratch.
