Many sites on the internet are using a domain from Google Domains. For almost 10 years, the company has been providing domains for people looking to start their websites. However, this is a Google product, which means that early termination was inevitable. Google Domains is being killed off, and its assets are being sold to Squarespace.
You should be familiar with Squarespace. It’s one of the most popular site-building platforms on the internet, and it has a very modern and intuitive interface. A bunch of sites are built using Squarespace, and it provides you with a ton of features to make your website exactly what you’ve been dreaming of.
You can check out the pricing here. Just know that the first prices you see when you enter the website will be for the annual packages. Flip the toggle on top of the UI to see the monthly prices.
Google Domains was purchased by Squarespace
As of the writing of this article, this transaction is still technically awaiting government approval. So, there’s still a slim chance that this won’t happen. However, we’re pretty confident that it will go through.
As noted by Android Police, this course of action is preferable compared to an outright shutdown. This would leave millions of website owners without a domain for their websites. That, in turn, would most likely lead to a massive lawsuit.
Instead of doing that, the company decided to sell off Google Domains’ assets to Squarespace. This will, most likely, entail a massive rebranding of the service and major changes for the people currently using them.
In any case, it will be a plus for people setting up their websites with Squarespace. They will have access to a domain service right from the site.
What about the changes?
The major question is “What is Squarespace going to change?”. Well, this is where things get a little dicey. We didn’t get any information on what will change from Squarespace.
However, the site builder did mention that for current customers, the pricing will not change for a full year after the acquisition goes through. This most likely means that their very next renewal will still be the same price as what they signed up with. However, after that, they can most likely expect a new price.
As for potential customers, we don’t know what kind of pricing they’ll be looking at. We’ll have to wait and see what the company plans on doing with the remnants of Google Domains.
