    “Once regulatory approvals are obtained and the transaction closes, you will become a customer of Squarespace, and your** domain will be owned** and, after a transition period, managed by Squarespace.”

    Squarespace will own the domains?

      No. All domain registrars are bound by ICANN, which has very strict rules about allowing users to transfer their domains elsewhere. It’s like how phone companies (at least in NA) have to let you transfer your phone number to a different provider.
