Dang!
I have a bunch of domains on Google domains.
Anyone have some good recommendations of places to transfer them?

A good thing about Google Domains is that they support SRS for email forwarding, it's a pain to find providers that do this correctly...
I moved to cloudflare. Not sure if you're looking for anything specific, but they're fairly popular amongst self hosted crowds.
Will they ever stop creating new services only to shut them down a few years later?
No wonder people don't trust them anymore.
There are zero reasons to trust Google at all, so... I don't know the "anymore" part...
Not because they shut down services but because they are Google. Part of the five eyes surveillance network, buddies with nsa and all those guys. Also will sell your private data to get rich, that's their entire business idea.
I've always found it hilarious that they give people a web page to put their private searches in, and they do it!
I don't like Zuckerberg but his opinion about people just randomly uploading anything personal to Facebook and trusting him (he called those people dumb fucks when he was younger).. It is kind of true.
Well they give people a web page to put their private searches in and then they perform a search and amongst peers has historically done it the best. That's not a minor detail, it's not particularly realistic to use the modern web without a search engine and they're not secretive about the business model. That doesn't make it particularly great, especially for privacy,, but people are unlikely to pay for web searching.
Thats what frustrates me so much. People pay for their morning coffee, their ride to work, streaming TV subscriptions, Spotify and so on... but when it comes to searching the web, it should just be provided as a free service?
I know traditionally it was, but now we have no privacy and ads everywhere. Somehow people are OK with that I guess. But im really not...
Even though Apple is a trash company as well, they have one thing going for them, which is if they do something today, I am fairly confident it will be around going into the future, no matter what
I agree, I'm not particularly fond of Apple but they're indeed reliable.
You have got to be kidding. I just migrated several domains over to Google...
As a Google Domains customer, it would have been nice to learn about this from Google...
"Once regulatory approvals are obtained and the transaction closes, you will become a customer of Squarespace, and your** domain will be owned** and, after a transition period, managed by Squarespace."
Squarespace will own the domains?
Fuck. I have a domain and workspace account associated with that domain through Google.
Goddammit.
I'm glad I finished moving my domains out recently.
Ugh, that's so annoying. What's the point of making great products if you're eventually just going to shut them down?
Maybe it's easier for them to sell it instead of maintaining them?
Google has their hands in too many industries
I would imagine it also due to a flaw in how Google works. From my understanding, Google incentivizes adding new features, not supporting things. So, unless you're on a team that is working on a core product, you won't get far just maintaining and fixing bugs in a product that is “feature complete”.
Crap. Their API for dynamic dns was nice.
Any suggestions for registrars which allow Dynamic DNS via an API?
