Not a day goes by that we get the news that Google has shut down another service… Our headline today will be about Domains, the highly demanded domain name registration platform that Google took out of beta in 2022.
With a surprise shared announcement, it was announced that Google Domains would be closed. Every entity, including all domains registered through Domains to date, will now pass on Squarespace.
Squarespace bought the entire asset of Domains:
In the official announcement shared by Squarespace, the company said, “A definitive asset purchase agreement has been signed to purchase assets associated with the Google Domains business.” made statements.
The cost of the agreement was not shared. It was stated that the whole process is planned to be completed within the third quarter of 2023.
Google explains why the service was sold: “To sharpen our focus”
Google Merchant Shopping General Manager Matt Madrigal, whose statements were included in Squarespace’s announcement, made a statement explaining the acquisition of Domains:
English: Google, which has already started to concentrate its resources on artificial intelligence, is now tightening its business for resource management. For now, it’s also throwing out services that are unrelated to its goals.
How will those who buy domain names from Domains be affected by this situation?
Google Domains hosted the registration of more than 10 million domain names and attracted great interest both in our country and abroad with its affordable price. In addition, the interface of the service and the fact that you can do almost everything with one click also set Domains apart from other services.
