    This is extremely interesting. So many products that I’ve never heard of and many of them were actually around for 6-12 years before being axed or coming up on death soon. A lot of these I had heard of and even used occasionally over the years and I didn’t realize were gone now.

      It’s amazing how many cool projects they’ve funded the creation of, but never really advertised, and subsequently killed

          Why the F would they kill Google Domains. Don’t they own a freaking cloud? How is having a registrar not essential when you own a cloud?

          Damn, that page is so interesting. Thanks for the rabbit hole.

          Holy shit, Google has ADHD.

            At this point I’m just waiting for them to axe YouTube out of the blue and with maybe 2 days warning. If Google announces a project nowadays I just assume they’ll kill it off at some point.

            Google Domains

            Wait… This is a bit of a problem- all my domains are on Google Domains. Are there any other registrars with $12/yr domains that I can migrate to?

            Edit: considering cloudflare

              Your contract should be moved over to Cloudflare automatically and they have committed to honoring existing prices for now.

              Any of them if you register for just one year lol

              I used namecheap because they had .com for I think 11$ on sale, and I bought two domains for my stuff

              But they sure ask a lot for cool names
