Google has had a big problem for over a decade with having multiple overlapping products, leading to wasted effort and customer confusion. It also leads to a bunch of extra work when one product is rolled into another or shut down.
It's unclear to me why they didn't migrate everyone over to GCP Cloud Domains. I'm also not sure that most customers really care if they're using Google Domains vs another registrar vs GCP Cloud Domains.
- guu 3y agoAccording to the author cloud domains are shutting down as well.
- morpheuskafka 3y ago> It's unclear to me why they didn't migrate everyone over to GCP Cloud Domains. Doesn't that require a GCP account? There are a lot of minimally-technical users who would be very confused going into a big cloud console, dealing with projects and IAM and all that stuff, just to renew their domain. They will have no trouble dealing with Squarespace.
