Time to migrate I guess.

    As usual, Google doesn’t disappoint by fucking things up for everyone. I’ve been meaning to migrate off of GMail for a while, this is yet another signal to do so.

    Google holding true on it’s promise to sunset any decent product that doesn’t immediately grant them the same success as their ad business, utter shit news.

    I guess I might as well migrate ahead of time so the sites I run don’t shit the bed when google inevitably screws up the migration process. Anyone have experience with squarespace domain hosting?

    Google shutting down Google Domains is honestly baffling.

    If domains aren’t a pure profit center for a cloud hosting company then what is? How does selling the business to Squarespace (?!?!?!) of all companies not do serious brand damage to Google in this space?

    I’d love to hear where people are going. I’m still trying to decide. Squarespace looks like it might be expensive when I have to renew.

    I’ve also been using Google Domains email forwarding, and I’m trying to find a good alternative.

    Any recommendations on who to use going forward Or do you think it will be the same after squarespace takes over?

      I’ve been using a combo of Namecheap and Gandi.net depending on which TLDs each support.

      I’ve been planning on consolidating everything on Google Domains… but my laziness seems almost prescient now.
