It is actually insane that they did this. I literally stopped recommending people use GCP over this - you can't get started easily because you have to use another platform for the domain. Why even use GCP at all?
- freeqaz 2y agoIt was also incredibly sticky with GSuite. Setting up security and everything was a breeze -- DMARC email records, SMTP, etc all magic -- I truly couldn't believe when this was announced. It was incredibly sad and I still feel upset about it a year later. Porkbun is my go to registrar now. And I switched my email to Migadu.

- candiddevmike 2y agoGoogle Cloud Domains is still a thing, and you can purchase domains from the console still. The registrar changed to square space, but it didn't really impact Google Cloud's usage.
- aeternum 2y agoEven a worse decision then because they're still supporting UI around it. Did it really come down to some PM not wanting to do registrar paperwork?
