Coupon is TESTANDCODE

I had already used it before realising it was one or the other, honestly its one of the better TLD's IMO, too bad Cloudflare doesn't support it yet.

Edit: I should have mentioned, you have to make a tentative payment of 1 USD, which is reverted.

Any reason you're not just sticking with Squarespace?

That's a fair question, I agree with the other commenter that they're targeting a different market. It took me a while to even find pricing on their website specifically for domains, but did find this faq:

How much does a domain name cost with Squarespace? All Squarespace sites on an annual plan include one custom domain, free for its first year. Additional domains are between $20 and $70 per year.

Minimum $20/yr is more expensive than some other registrars. I'm not even sure if you can register domains normally without also paying for other services from squarespace, but I've never seen them mentioned when talking about domain registrars either.

All I need is the ability to register domains, have domain whois privacy, and the ability to change nameservers. Squarespace has a lot of other products that I'm not interested in, and if they aren't making money off of domain renewals - I'd fully expect to be peppered with ads and marketing trying to upsell me. I don't have any prior experience with squarespace, but I do have experience with several others that I'd consider moving more domains over to first.

Really appreciate the response - thank you.

I just had a handful of domains tick over renewal on Google Domains in the past week, so I suppose I'll have some time to see what Squarespace is like from an administration perspective before I end up having to commit to renewing with them.
