Squarespace to acquire Google Domains: What it means for customers
Summary
Squarespace said that current Google Domains customers won’t see any changes to their renewal prices for at least 12 months after the deal is completed. “We are exceptionally proud to be chosen to serve the customers of the Google Domains business,” said Anthony Casalena, founder and CEO at Squarespace. It is, however, debatable if existing Google Domains customers will be interested in Squarespace’s extra services since many will already have a preferred Web builder and design tool. Matt Madrigal’s comment in the acquisition announcement that the agreement was “in keeping with our efforts to sharpen our focus” is also a clear indicator that Google Domains was not a priority for the company. Replies to Squarespace’s Tweet on the subject included discussions on moving domains elsewhere, worries about pricing, and complaints directed at Google.
