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?
