In a minute or two, Google won't be hosting your domains anymore anyway, it's back to Squarespace with you, like it or not!

https://www.squarespace.com/press-releases/2023/6/15/squares...

Under the terms of the agreement, Squarespace will honor all existing Google Domains customers' renewal prices for at least 12 months following the closing of the transaction, as well as provide additional incentives to encourage Google Domains customers to build a website with Squarespace and adopt other Squarespace offerings. Further, Squarespace will be leveraging Google's infrastructure powering the Google Domains product during the migration period in order to ensure the seamless transfer of domains.

Upon closing, Squarespace, a long- time reseller of Google Workspace, 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. Customers will continue to have the option to make changes to their domains account at any time.

I tried porkbun. Really wanted it to work. Tried to transfer two domains to them from Google. For some reason, their payment system kept declining my perfectly fine Chase Visa card. It wasn't a problem with Chase. The transaction didn't even show up. There was no fraud notification etc. Gave up and moved to CloudFlare. I suspect they might need to fix payment services first.

I use a Chase Visa on porkbun. It works just fine.
