Squarespace has entered a definitive agreement with Google and bought Google Domains' assets, including about 10 million domains. As a result, Google Domains will begin winding down its business, and it's expected to shut down its services following the completion of the sale. Matt Madrigal, Vice President and General Manager of Google's Merchant Shopping, stated that their top priority is ensuring a seamless transition for customers in the coming months with the assistance of the Google Domains team. Squarespace can offer an integrated experience of purchasing and managing domains, as well as providing other tools that customers may require to develop their online presence. Squarespace has promised to maintain the renewal prices of existing Google Domains customers for at least 12 months after the deal is closed in Q3 2023. As part of the deal, customers will become Squarespace customers, and their domains will be owned and eventually managed by Squarespace after the transition period. They will become the exclusive domains provider for any customer purchasing a domain along with their Workspace subscription from Google directly for a minimum of three years. Squarespace will also provide billing and support services to Google Workspace customers that signed up for the service through Google Domains.
