Anyone know if squarespace is likely to jack up the price? I quite like my domain and was planning on spinning up a kbin instance with it

They've got to cover their marketing budget somehow...

You can transfer your domain if you act fast, it takes a few days. You may have to pay again on the new registrar though.

You pay for the transfer basically and keep the current registration time + 1 year. But ICANN only allows transfers within certain time windows of age of the domain, before/after registration, and such as well... but could be easier now to get out of Google and locked into a mess later.
