Wow that’s interesting. For me as a consumer that would negate the value of the registrar - I would probably be wrong, but as a consumer maybe would have assumed that domains bought there have some easier integration into the Google ecosystem, with some convenience benefit even if small.
Will they still? I don’t use Squarespace (but a lot of people must be, for them to have that much pull, damn) but would they still have such benefit? I guess the benefit is Squarespace integration.
This includes Google’s special TLDs they own and administer? Article didn’t say.
This is a surprising move by Google, one would think there would be no benefit them selling the domains business?
Squarespace hopes to convert some of these people into customers of its site building and other tools
No thanks
Squarespace will honor Google Domains renewal prices for current customers for at least 12 months
This quote has me slightly worried, especially considering some Google domains already cost almost triple of a regular ‘.com’
Off to cloudflare I go, was already planned but I’ve been lazy about it.
Aw damn… I really like how bare basic their interface is and how they’re not constantly trying to upsell me shit I don’t need. Anyone have any good recommendations for alternatives that fit this bill? Google is just giving me the worst possible options.
I’m happy with Porkbun as my domains’ registrar. 🙅🏼♀️ Cool for Squarespace, I guess.
