    Anyone know if squarespace is likely to jack up the price? I quite like my domain and was planning on spinning up a kbin instance with it

      You can transfer your domain if you act fast, it takes a few days. You may have to pay again on the new registrar though.

        You pay for the transfer basically and keep the current registration time + 1 year. But ICANN only allows transfers within certain time windows of age of the domain, before/after registration, and such as well… but could be easier now to get out of Google and locked into a mess later.

          Once it’s been bought or transferred it’s locked for 60 days.
