Ask HN: Why would Google sell Google domains to Squarespace?

I hold domains at nearly all the popular registrars (eggs, one basket, etc.) but https://iwantmyname.com/ is another I want to add to the list. It's not often mentioned but is notable in being one of very few registrars to not attempt upsells to hosting, services, etc. NameCheap irritates me with this practice in particular.

I love IWMN except for the fact that their 2FA implementation is deprecated and falls back to SMS (which is not a secure enough channel for something as important as domains). I’ve been emailing them about this annually for several years and they’ve no plans to improve it, so I’m going to move my domains away :(

Fair point! I also somehow failed to notice they were acquired by a larger company a few years ago which is often a bad sign long term in my experience. I guess I will maintain my policy of using about ten different registrars.. :-)
