<description>Google Domains is fresh out of beta and now being sold to Squarespace. You read that correctly - Google Domains is joining the Google graveyard. RIP. This deal, and how Google is handling it, is unethical and really grinds our gears. As of the time of producing this episode, Google has yet to inform us of this transaction - we had to find out about it on Twitter. However, this is a blessing in disguise, as this was the final nail in the coffin that was the last remaining shred of trust we had in Google. This was the nudge we needed to move our business to providers that actually respect their paying customers. If you rely on Google, you should, at a minimum, have a contingency plan in case they either shut down services you’re relying on or shut you down for some dubious reason.
