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.<br \/>\nYou should be familiar with Squarespace. It\u2019s 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\u2019ve been dreaming of.<br \/>\nYou 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.\u00a0Flip the toggle on top of the UI to see the monthly prices.<br \/>\nGoogle Domains was purchased by Squarespace<br \/>\nAs of the writing of this article, this transaction is still technically awaiting government approval. So, there\u2019s still a slim chance that this won\u2019t happen. However, we\u2019re pretty confident that it will go through.<br \/>\nAs 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.<br \/>\nInstead of doing that, the company decided to sell off Google Domains\u2019 assets to Squarespace. This will, most likely, entail a massive rebranding of the service and major changes for the people currently using them.<br \/>\nIn any case, it will be a plus for people setting up their websites with Squarespace. They will have access to a\u00a0domain service right from the site.<br \/>\nWhat about the changes?<br \/>\nThe major question is \u201cWhat is Squarespace going to change?\u201d. Well, this is where things get a little dicey. We didn\u2019t get any information on what will change from Squarespace.<br \/>\nHowever, 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.<br \/>\nAs for potential customers, we don\u2019t know what kind of pricing they\u2019ll be looking at. We\u2019ll have to wait and see what the company plans on doing with the remnants of Google Domains.<br \/>\nThe post Google kills off Google Domains, sells it to Squarespace appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Google-Domains-Logo.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many sites on the internet are using a domain from Google Domains.
