After almost a year of repeated emails stating the transition from Google Domains will have no effect on customers, no action is required; I just got this email:

Update Dynamic DNS records Hi there, As previously communicated, Squarespace has purchased all domain name registrations and related customer accounts from Google Domains. Customers are in the process of being moved to Squarespace Domains, but before we migrate your domain [redacted] we wanted to inform you that a feature you use, Dynamic DNS (DDNS), will not be supported by Squarespace.

So apparently SquareSpace will be entirely useless to me and I’ve got “as soon as 30 days” to move.

Got any suggestions for good registrars to migrate to?

(it’s a .pw domain if that matters)

/edit. I’m a moron.

I already use cloudflare as my name server, Google/SquareSpace only handles the registration.

I’ll be fine. Thanks for the help everyone!

Try Zoneedit. I’ve had them for years and barely glanced at them.

Namecheap does DyDNS. I’ve been using them for years, really solid.

I have one last domain to move off Google Domains as the registrar. All my other domains are moved to Porkbun already and haven’t had any issues. All of my domains use desec.io for DNS.
