    I dont know how to feel about this…

    My domain got transfered to them from Google domains shutting down and now its being brought under a private equity umbrella… Something fucky.

      I switched all my domains to Porkbun. No way I’m hanging out in Squarespace land.

      I switched to Cloudflare. Squarespace wasn’t going to work for me.

      I’d transfer if I were you. Pro-tip, never use the same company for hosting AND DNS. It gives one company way to much power.

        Not worried about that, I self-host everything, its that Google domains were cheap, quiet, and handled the routing I needed, now… I dont know what to expect.
