SpargoDomains vs Squarespace Domains

When Google shut down Google Domains in 2023, Squarespace bought the business, and its domain product inherited those customers. It’s a clean, fair retail registrar designed to feed the Squarespace website builder. Their page (checked 2026-08-23) advertises domains "for only $10" with privacy included.

How Squarespace Domains works

Advertised entry price of $10 on their landing page (checked 2026-08-23); per-TLD prices vary.
Free WHOIS privacy on eligible domains, free SSL, email forwarding up to 100 aliases.
The natural home if you build on Squarespace — domain, site, and commerce in one account.
The successor to Google Domains; former Google Domains customers were migrated here.
Domains are managed inside the Squarespace platform; the deeper integrations assume you want the builder.

How SpargoDomains works

Domains are registered through Cloudflare Registrar into your own Cloudflare account, at Cloudflare’s cost — about $10.46 for a .com today. We never touch the money, so a markup isn’t just absent, it’s impossible.
The renewal price is shown next to the first-year price before you commit, and it’s the same number — at-cost pricing has no promotional cliff.
No upsells anywhere: no hosting, no email plans, no site builders, no countdown timers. Search, confirm, done.
Price and availability are re-verified the moment before purchase; any change is a hard stop that asks you again. A purchase is never retried silently.
After you buy, the workspace keeps watching: Named → Pointed → Alive, from real DNS and HTTPS checks.
The honest catch: you need a Cloudflare account, domains there use Cloudflare nameservers, premium domains and transfers aren’t supported in the app yet, and the workspace itself will cost money (draft: $79/year founding) while the domains stay at cost.
