Nothing stays the same.

You've likely heard Google sold their domain service to . Having been with for a number of years, I've transferred my domains to (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 have a strong recommendation for an alternate registrar to transfer a domain to?

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.

I just got the Squarespace Google Domains email and it still blows my mind that this is even happening. So crazy.

Goddang, are buying 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")

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 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 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 is forcing me to ponder alternatives. I think I've largely decided both and ain't it, which leaves self hosting or 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.

Perhaps something for companies like , , 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).

and 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 ins Leben zu rufen. Dieses mal etwas unabhängiger von Plattformen wie . Hat jemand Tipps welche Plattformen sich eignen? Denke gerade über oder nach. Meine Kenntnisse sind leider zu gering, um selbst eine Website zu bauen.
