Google Domains going to Squarespace

Not sure how this will impact users who purchased their Workspace email through Google Domains. https://9to5google.com/2023/06/15/go...s-squarespace/

g domains is a reseller of workspace. so that should be not influenced.

No (not yet). Also no message on the site itself.

I found this support page: https://support.google.com/domains/answer/13689670

What does this mean for me as a customer?
There is no immediate impact on your Google Domains account and there is nothing you need to do at this time. 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. If applicable, at the time of transition, associated Google Workspace services will be automatically managed by Squarespace, subject to limited exceptions. Squarespace will contact you directly if any further action is required.

Is that right?

"... and your domain will be owned and, after a transition period, managed by Squarespace."

NOT owned by you? Are google domains currently owned by those who paid for them?

I wondered about that too. I suspect it is just wrongly worded--probably written by Bard!

Of course there is a big thread on this over at Hacker News. Personally, I moved away from Google Domains a few years ago. I didn't like their interface. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36346454
