Google is shutting down all websites!!
This has caused a rise in tension amongst business owners.
Especially with how website builders have been going about with this particular news just to get business owners to build a website with them.
I understand the need to make money
And trust me I'm not here to spoil business for you.
Truth is I really wanted to get the full gist and not give some half baked information.
Because I have been using Google hosting to build mini websites and landing pages for people I run ads for and I will still continue with that though I use WordPress and system(dot)io for advanced options.
So I needed to make my findings right and revert to my amazing clients.
Truely, Google has announced to shut down websites under their domain but there's an exception.
Currently google my business is known as google profile and it has the ability to give you a very functional website immediately you set it up and people can reach out to you through that means.
But google said they are shutting it down, reasons best known to them.
But they are not shutting down websites created by sites(dot)google
Please take note of this.
Because I'm sure that's the major part of the frenzy.
So if you're using a website that was created by sites(dot) google and you haven't made plans to migrate to another hosting.
Please stick to that.
Don't let anyone pressure you to spend money you did not budget for.
Just so you know, sites(dot) google and google profile are very different, the latter has business (dot) google as its domain name.
And another thing, if you check the emails google sent out about them shutting down websites, they gave other options you can use and sites(dot)google was listed as one of them.
Google will not list that out if they plan shutting that down too.
Finally, sites(dot) google also have paid plans, you can't access every of their product free, so they can't possibly shut down a part of their income stream.
And like I always say, we are thinking beings, you can go do your own research on this as well and not pick everything I have just written down.
Meanwhile, if you're yet to own a website as a business owner, I sha don't know what you're still waiting for 🌚🌚🌚
This is 2024, someone somewhere around your neighborhood is busy searching google for that product you're selling while you sit around complaining "no customer".
Stop playing, get started with the real business, you can reach out to me for a clarity session via DM.
