  Yet another abandoned Google/Alphabet product.

  What’s a good place to get/hold domains these days?

    Cloudflare if they have the TLD you want/need (their pricing has no markup).

      Recently used Porkbun for a .xyz domain for reverse proxy / DNS challenge. Price was about 2-3CAD$ for the first year, renewal at +/-10CAD$/year. My usage is pretty simple, but it’s been great so far.

  I migrated my domain to Cloudflare and moved my mail host from gmail to iCloud. I still use google sites as a web host since it’s free hosting and brain dead building but I used google domains for the cheap domain and integrated mail and web hosting with my Google one sub.

    How did you migrate your mail hosting? I currently have everything run though google domains. The registration, the hosting, the email domain and I’m not very tech savvy and don’t want to go to Squarespace. Is it easy to migrate to cloudflare?

  Got an email from them about some domains. They say it won’t happen for “at least a month” as the transaction closes and migration begins. They also said:

  Squarespace has publicly committed to continue to utilize Google Cloud DNS infrastructure, meaning reliability and performance regarding DNS will remain unchanged during the migration. The purchase is currently subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. Upon the closing of the transaction, your domain account will be owned by Squarespace but you will continue to manage your domain(s) via Google Domains as you do today, with Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service continuing to apply.

  I find this mildly infuriating. We’re being moved to another pimp. Are there Fediverse solutions available for domain registration?
