Google Domains

Stressful news that may temporarly affect this forum
Got an E-Mail about an hour ago saying that Google Domains, the company that houses my two domains (neververy4.com and savethedragons.xyz) has been purchased by Squarespace. I ha e no respect for companies such as Squarespace, and as such I have 30 days to get a new domain service before Squarespaces ToS applies to me
First off: What is a domain? Every website has a domain. neververy4.com, wikipedia.org, and minecraft.net, savethedragons.xyz are all domains. The www. is a Subdomain, and isn't a part of the actual website's domain. mail.google.com is the domain "google.com" witg a subdomain "mail.". same with this forum; forum.neververy4.com
Anyways, I don't know how smoothly and painless a registrar transfer can be. Maybe you won't notice anything, or maybe there will be 2 days of weird connectipn issues, such as random 404's, 403's, or even some 500 connection issues.
Forum's not going down, not by a long shot, but sometime in the next 30 days there may be connection issues. This is a simply a heads up so y'all don't stress I'll reply here when I find a new registrar service, and again when everything should be clear. Any questions, feel free to PM me

The company that hosts my site can also host my domains, so I'm moving there. It's an extra $0.99/year per domain, but I would rather that than pay SquareSpace money
