Google -> SquareSpace?
Google -> SquareSpace?
I've only ever had my domain registered via Google Domains (~7 years), mostly because it was cheap+convenient, and google already had my billing info. Google has however sold its domain registration services to SquareSpace and will soon be transitioning customers there.
Not upset to be removing one more bit of google from my life, but I don't know much about SquareSpace and I'm not sure if I should just go with the transition to them or perhaps move to a different registrar... If I was to move, where too?
Curious what others think about the situation and company.
Are you a Google domains customer? What's your plan? Why?
Switched to cloudflare. I was already planning on it but I was waiting for my renewal. This forced my hang.
I’m planning to switch to Cloudflare Registrar. I already use some of their other services so it makes sense, and their pricing is pretty great.
I believe they still sell their domains at cost.
I switched all my donations to cloudflare. Tried out pork bun and did like it but cloudflare is so good. I do hate in principal that they force you to use their dns, but in practice I want to use them for DNS anyhow. Their ZeroTrust tunnel is pretty slick too.
They said first year with no price changes, so no rush. Let's see their proposal.
Well, I'm pretty pissed, and it feels like Google, probably the biggest Internet company, has really gone insane. I mean, a web company stops selling domains? Why? It makes total sense with their Cloud offerings and other stuff like managed Gmail/apps
Anyway I have like a dozen domains there so I'm just going to hang in for the rollover and hopefully I don't need to do anything. Ultimately, I use this stuff like 2ce a year so it doesn't really matter who holds the domains for me
I am moving over to Cloudflare slowly.
I had some OVH domains, as in they end in OVH. So have moved all my Google domains to OVH, I can even still do wild card let's encryp with ovh.
