Google Domains has been sold to Squarespace and all the domains are going to transfer over to there.
Thanks for ruining my vacation, Google.
At least they don’t just shut it down like with other things.
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.
And no mention of what happens to their API but knowing google it either goes away entirely or totally changes with significant rework required.

How Sundar still has a job is mind boggling. So many failures and obvious mismanagement.
what the fuck all my domains were on Google Domains. Maaaan.
Is there a registrar people recommend?
I transferred mine to cloudflare who does not charge any markup.
I’ve been using Porkbun. It’s cheap and provides all of the TLDs I need.
I just moved a domain to Google Domains last month. Yaaay
I’ve also got all of my domains in Porkbun. I don’t use their nameservers though. I usually use cloudflare for that, so you could look into them, too.
Check out tld-list.com. I usually pick something from there. Have had food experience with porkbun and cloudflare, though cloudflare forces you to use their DNS which I was not happy with.
That’s actually surprising, I’ve used Google Domains & Sites and although they weren’t the cheapest, they where the most accessible.
FYI, you can register domains through Cloudflare, who doesn’t add anything to the underlying fees.
That’s so crazy to me but that’s google for you.
