Yep... I saw this last week and transferred my domain to CloudFlare afterwards. It took me a day or two to get it all fixed back up with my iCloud stuff and other DNS crap, but it's done now. I'm really getting sick of google killing all their products.

Same thing for me, my domains were set to renew in August, but I transferred to Hover (cloudflare didn't directly support my tld) but I set up my nameservers with Cloudflare.

Everything google touches dies, I'm very distrustful of any of their services, I should probably think of moving off gmail too haha

@Kizaing could you imagine if google announced they were going to kill Gmail. (Honestly I would be happy with it. That would mean I can pursed people in my life to send emails to a custom domain I own by saying thats the only way I know I will be able to continue receiving emails to that domain)

Same! I went with CF because I refuse to ever use SquareSpace because they have ads in every podcast

Yup, that's my backup plan if I don't like where things are going... Funny enough, after the announcement, exactly 1 day later, Cloudlflare sent me a migrate to them ad, as one domain was close to renewal.

Was even easier for me since I was already using cloudflare as my dns for my domain so it all just stayed the same
