Google Domains has been sold to Squarespace and all the domains are going to transfer over to there.

Thanks for ruining my vacation, Google.

    it’s yet another proof that google can’t be trusted when it comes to the continuity of their products. I’ve been fooled many times, but now and forever it’s a no-go.

    That’s actually surprising, I’ve used Google Domains & Sites and although they weren’t the cheapest, they where the most accessible.

    Can someone give me a ELI5 for why that is bad and people are planning on migrating away to other services?

      I have 15-20 domains with Google so it’ll be a pain to manage something else. Even if I can’t trust Google’s privacy or product continuity, I do trust Google’s security and have multi factor enabled already, so having my domains protected by them is a great thing. I’m pretty much always logged into my Google account on my PC so it’s one fewer account to manage.

      Squarespace is probably fine, but I bought my first domains through a web builder and web host years ago and they slowly raised prices and reduced features until I had to leave them and moved to Google.
