Hello, so Google moving domains to squarespace, anyone knows what to do?

It seems like process is vague... Its a shame they are doing this!

I had domain till 2028 from Google and paid it, it will be available until 2028 right?

I have an existing website hosted by google sites. The domain I got for it I bought on google domains back when you could. Today I decided to rebrand which includes a new domain, but I had to purchase one on squarespace instead. How can I make it so that my squarespace domain belongs to my website made on google sites. I also want to stop paying for my original google sites domain so idk if a usual forward to it works for me.

I've been gradually moving all of my domain names from Google/Squarespace to Route53/Amazon Domains. Although I got started on it last year while they were all still at Google, I unfortunately did not complete it before Squarespace took over. Here are some things I've encountered with Squarespace as my domain registrar:

1. They automatically renew domains a full two weeks prior to the renewal date, so if you're waiting to do a transfer until shortly before the renewal, do it a month early.

2. Last weekend I attempted to transfer 6 domain names. I updated the name servers first, as several of the domains were still using Google's DNS, and then initiated the transfers, expecting that the week or so between request and completion would give plenty of time for the NS changes to propagate. Apparently, once you request a transfer, Squarespace no longer honors pending NS changes, and it completely dropped all DNS service for 4 of the domain names, bringing down all 4 sites. During this pending transfer time, you are also unable to revert to Squarespace's nameservers, so the only way to fix it is to cancel your transfer(s). Funnily, when you try to cancel a transfer, Squarespace tells you that an error occurred and the transfer could not be cancelled. However, this error message is wrong, and the transfers do get cancelled. Extremely annoying buggy process. I am going to do a test run on an unimportant domain name this weekend, waiting for the NS change to fully propagate prior to requesting its transfer. I've never had this problem with Godaddy, Hover or Google Domains.

3. Shortly after the DNS cratered for one of the above domains, and I thought that I was unable to cancel the transfer through their interface, I contacted Squarespace "support" (really just a chatbot) and a created ticket. This was Friday afternoon. They replied to my ticket the following Thursday. It took them 7 DAYS to reply to top priority ticket, and the ticket made no mention of that gap except to say that they were busier than usual.

4. There's no unified billing portal for domains, where you can view all of the payments you've made to Squarespace in one place. You need to open each domain individually to see if there were any charges related to it. Clearly, the service is geared toward customers with a single domain name.
