Squarespace has entered an agreement to purchase Google's domain business.

Imho a decision that doesn’t make sense, Google already has paid for all the infrastructure so running the service to them is pure profit, not to mention the lost possibility to upsell Google workspace (paid gmail with a custom domain) or Google cloud services to all their customers.

Although I would never subscribe to something from Google for my business, then when they eventually change mind and kill my product, i have to migrate in an hurry. I’ve been hurted too many times

    Sounds like those are migrating as well.

    For customers who purchased a domain in the Google Workspace sign up flow

    Once regulatory approvals are obtained and the transaction closes, you will become a customer of Squarespace. After close, there will be a transition period during which customer information associated with your domain will be migrated over time, subject to limited exceptions, after which your domain management will be managed in a Squarespace account. This includes DNS and WHOIS settings and domain name renewal. We will work with Squarespace to make the transition as seamless as possible for you. Billing for your domain will continue to be managed by Google Workspace directly, even after your domain is transitioned to Squarespace.
