Google sold the domains to Squarespace. Domain prices in the company start from $20. Although it promises the same price to the domain prices for the first year, the domain prices will be higher for the following years.
I have good news.
wordpress.com adds +1 year to the duration of google domains and transfers them for free.
Yes, you are given a +1 year free period for transferring your domains to another company later on.
You can continue to use your domains on wordpress.com.
Although it is not as much as Google domain, its prices are still affordable because it has pricing on the basis of countries.
The only downside is that you can't create your own custom nameservers.
However, you can point the domain to the nameservers you want.
So you don't have to use wordpress sites.
