@SteppinRazor I’m still on #WordPress, but hear the cool kids use #Ghost. 👻 Avoid the candy-colored horror called #Squarespace.

Nothing stays the same.
You've likely heard Google sold their domain service to #Squarespace. Having been with #googledomains for a number of years, I've transferred my domains to #Wordpress (wordpress.com). My needs are simple.
For a limited time they are transferring google domains for free. Ongoing cost is about the same as it was on Google. Was pretty simple to accomplish. Just an FYI.
Wonder when or if they'll sell Gmail?

With Google Domains being sold to SquareSpace, I'm curious if people in the #fediverse have a strong recommendation for an alternate registrar to transfer a domain to?
#fediverse #google #googledomains #squarespace
annoyed the fact that #googledomains has been acquired by #squarespace , and with it my domains ( and data, and payment details too perhaps?)

Google is selling its Google Domains business to Squarespace. Another Google service that gets eliminated. I hope they open up the .dev domain to other companies so that I can switch away.

From the FWIW Dept:
"#Squarespace recently announced that it entered into an agreement to purchase all domain name registrations and related customer accounts from #GoogleDomains."
I just got the Squarespace Google Domains email and it still blows my mind that this is even happening. So crazy.
Goddang, #Squarespace are buying #Google domains, and increase the prices. I guess I should buy a ".dev" while I still can for 12$/y instead of freaking 30$. But I still can't figure out if I'll be able to use it for emails without paying additional 14.40$ for "Custom email" feature, which makes it 27$ (and Squarespace do include "email forwarding")
BREAKING NEWS: It is 2023 and I finally do not hate #SquareSpace with ever fiber of my being.
Can I even customize my robots.txt on Squarespace to stop GPTBot from crawling my site? (Probably not) It's an easy and convenient hosting/builder solution until it's not…
WordPress.com is paying for #Google #Domains customers to transfer to their service! With some added benefits, too:
⭐ free SSL installation & privacy protection
⭐ unlimited transfers
⭐ lightning-fast DNS speeds
⭐ free year of domain registration
⭐ same or lower price on all TLDs
This offer is for the first 1 million domains, so act fast! No hosting plan necessary.

Realized that in order to do what I want to do with my website, I'll need to upgrade my #Squarespace account to do it. But I don't have $500/yr to spend just so I can sell a pdf, host audio/video files, and take direct monthly donations. So that was a disappointment.
Additionally, the encroaching enshittification of #Twitch is forcing me to ponder alternatives. I think I've largely decided both #YouTube and #Kick ain't it, which leaves self hosting or #Owncast for other streaming options. Not too bad since I can just use this account to stream and direct people to my BuyMeACoffee for donations.
Still...I'm feeling disappointed. I've spent a lot of money on a website I largely don't use and a lot of time on a platform hellbent on appealing to advertisers over users. Feels like wasted time and money

Not happy that Google Domains is shutting down and all accounts will be moved to Squarespace?
WordPress.com is offering unlimited free transfers to the first 1 million domains moved from Google Domains to WordPress.com.
And they'll extend your registration for an additional year.
Renewal price will be the same or lower than Google Domains.

Hhmmm.....#AWS will now charge for using #IPv4 addresses! Maybe #Squarespace will finally implement #IPv6 support. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-public-ipv4-address-charge-public-ip-insights/
🎉 Join me at 1:00 PM Central for an important discussion! Let's talk about making Squarespace websites accessible. Let's make the web more inclusive for everyone!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yADUxDhPOEE #AccessibilityMatters #WebDesign #Inclusion #Squarespace

Perhaps something for companies like #Fastmail, #Squarespace, or even internet/cell providers?
Your customers becomes _a bit_ more sticky, but they could still move their followers and followees any time (if they stop paying for the service, don't like the moderation, or something else).
#Vivaldi and #Mozilla are in this space as well - but their model is a variation: The function of their instances is to point people to the parts of their business that _do_ make money. (Also viable.)

Plane aktuell einen #Blog ins Leben zu rufen. Dieses mal etwas unabhängiger von Plattformen wie #medium. Hat jemand Tipps welche #blogging Plattformen sich eignen? Denke gerade über #Wordpress #Ghostorg oder #squarespace nach. Meine #html Kenntnisse sind leider zu gering, um selbst eine Website zu bauen.
#Blog #medium #blogging #WordPress #ghostorg #squarespace #html
Full ack. Everyone should be in charge of their own platform. And with competent website builders akin to #squarespace, #wordpress and #writefreely heck even #githubpages it has never been easier to do so.
