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.


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:



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.

Will Google still have access to the domain's registration info? I ask because of my PBN. I use different registrars with different names because Google can see all the info on a domain registration.
