We support all DNS record types, custom nameservers, domain forwarding, email forwarding, DNSSEC, glue records, and more. Our primary mission during the transition is to ensure complete continuity. Certain advanced features that will not be supported during the transition are Dynamic DNS, and ACME DNS API.
Squarespace will support the majority of languages and currencies that Google Domains supports. Your domain will not be moved until support is active for your language and currency.

See the list of supported languages here. Squarespace will not support payment for domains or other products/services via Indian Rupee (INR).
