About the Squarespace purchase of Google Domains registrations
On 15 June 2023, Google entered into a definitive agreement with Squarespace, indicating their intent to purchase all domain registrations and related customer accounts from Google Domains. When the transaction between Google and Squarespace closed on 7 September 2023, all Google Domains users became customers of Squarespace. As of 10 July 2024, all domains have migrated to Squarespace.

Does Squarespace support all of the same features as Google Domains?
We offer the best of Google Domains features. We support all DNS record types, custom nameservers, domain forwarding, email forwarding, DNSSEC, glue records, and more. Our mission is to ensure complete continuity, however there are certain advanced features we don’t support, such as Dynamic DNS, and ACME DNS API.
