OMG!!! Google Domains to be bought by Squarespace
Google is getting out of domain business !!!! Squarespace bought Google Domains for $180M
Google published a support document that answers a few questions for those affected by the sale.
We want you to be aware of important upcoming changes to your Google Domains account. On June 15, 2023, Squarespace announced its intent to purchase domain registrations and related customer accounts from Google Domains.
There is no immediate impact on your Google Domains account and there is nothing you need to do at this time. Once regulatory approvals are obtained and the transaction closes, you will become a customer of Squarespace, and your domain will be owned and, after a transition period, managed by Squarespace.
Squarespace issued press release:
Upon closing, Squarespace, a long- time reseller of Google Workspace, will become the exclusive domains provider for any customer purchasing a domain along with their Workspace subscription from Google directly for a minimum of three years. Squarespace will also provide billing and support services to Google Workspace customers that signed up for the service through Google Domains. Customers will continue to have the option to make changes to their domains account at any time.
These is a huge news. Domain registrarship now can be added to the famous “Killed by Google” collection. Google is known to kill sometimes even profitable businesses if it’s not lucrative enough or if they want to restructure their businesses in a slightly different direction.

If it's big hosting-related news and you're a day or two late, then probably someone has already started a thread about it -- worth checking, at any rate
