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.
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 just moved a domain to Google Domains last month. Yaaay
I’ve been using Porkbun. It’s cheap and provides all of the TLDs I need.
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.
How Sundar still has a job is mind boggling. So many failures and obvious mismanagement.
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.
FYI, you can register domains through Cloudflare, who doesn’t add anything to the underlying fees.
And no mention of what happens to their API but knowing google it either goes away entirely or totally changes with significant rework required.

That’s so crazy to me but that’s Google for you.
