TL;DR Summary: Benefit from Squarespace's acquisition of Google Domains! No transfer hassle - Squarespace handles it all. Manage, pay for, and edit your domain names seamlessly from your Squarespace account. Read on to learn more about this smooth transition.

The reason behind the change in the management of your domain name is on September 7, 2023, Squarespace bought out the entire ownership rights of Google Domains, which means that by July 2024, all Google Domain Names will be completely under Squarespace.

Key Points about the Transfer:

  • There is no need for any transfer process; everything will automatically be handled by Squarespace.
  • You can register, pay for, and edit all your domain names from a Squarespace account.
  • Google has opted out of the domain registrar services market due to business reasons, which led Squarespace to acquire Google Domains.

If you were a Google Domains client, then your domain name would also be part of this automated transfer.
