Everything that has changed
- Pricing
Migrated Google Domains customers hit standard Squarespace pricing
The Google Domains book moved to Squarespace across 2023–24 at grandfathered rates. By early 2025 most of those registrations had renewed at Squarespace's standard flat pricing, which on a .com is roughly double what Google charged. Squarespace did not raise prices so much as stop honouring an acquired price list, and it drove a visible wave of transfers to Cloudflare and Porkbun.Logged in the domain registrars comparisonAlso affects cloudflare registrarAlso affects porkbun - Funding
Squarespace taken private by Permira
Permira completed its acquisition of Squarespace, moving one of the largest consumer domain books on this page into private-equity ownership. Ownership structure is not a feature, but in this category it has been a reliable leading indicator of renewal price rises and add-on packaging, which is why it is a scored column here.Logged in the domain registrars comparison
How this changelog is kept
Events are written by hand and dated to the day the change took effect, not the day we noticed. Each one names the tools it affects, so a shared change — a cloud provider raising egress prices across four products — appears on every profile it touches rather than being duplicated four times.
Everything here also flows into the site-wide changelog, which is the cross-tool feed of what is moving in developer infrastructure pricing.
