Clearly Squarespace is the guilty party here, but man, I am still upset Google shut down Domains, and can't help but direct some ire their abandonment of yet another product.
They did? I missed that. It hasn’t lasted even ten years, has it?
I remember reading the Domains announcement and thought to myself - “you have to be a fool to trust Google to host your domains long-term”. Feels good to be right, but I feel bad for everyone who jumped on the bandwagon. I cant imagine trusting Google products to last those days.
The entire consumer registrar industry is untrustworthy. I can't think of a worse category of online services, ranked by security and sleazebaggery, with the possible exception of the VPN market.
It was useful because it integrated super nicely into workspace account administration. Unfortunately all the issues have been painfully predictable and the rollout has been bad.
I'm in your same boat. I had a bunch of domains with Google because of the brand recognition, but this acquisition annoys me immensely and clearly it's off to a great start!
