At this point I’m just waiting for them to axe YouTube out of the blue and with maybe 2 days warning. If Google announces a project nowadays I just assume they’ll kill it off at some point.

It’s amazing how many cool projects they’ve funded the creation of, but never really advertised, and subsequently killed

Why the F would they kill Google Domains. Don’t they own a freaking cloud? How is having a registrar not essential when you own a cloud?
Damn, that page is so interesting. Thanks for the rabbit hole.
Holy shit, Google has ADHD.
Selling it to Cloudflare. Dunno why, presumably not profitable enough.
Wait… This is a bit of a problem- all my domains are on Google Domains. Are there any other registrars with $12/yr domains that I can migrate to?
Edit: considering cloudflare
Any of them if you register for just one year lol
I used namecheap because they had .com for I think 11$ on sale, and I bought two domains for my stuff
But they sure ask a lot for cool names
I already have the domains I just want to transfer them away from squarespace
Your contract should be moved over to Cloudflare automatically and they have committed to honoring existing prices for now.
I thought it was sold to squarespace?

They actually sold Google Domains, still wild. No problem! :D
That is, indeed, the link that I posted 🙃
