Google loses control of ‘ blog post.in’ domain, breaking Millon’s of websites

Google’s free Blogger tool makes it easy for anyone to start their own website, but the platform is undergoing some issues in India this week. Spotted by The Next Web and Bleeping Computer, Google apparently let the ‘blogspot.in’ domain lapse in early June. With Google no longer in control of that domain.

Rather, it’s now owned by domainming.com and is available for purchase by anyone with $5,999 to spare Google hasn’t let the ‘blogspot.in’ domain lapse, which is where all these blogs are still visible. However, Blogspot sites won’t automatically redirect there. The lapse in domain ownership has caused over 4 million Blogger-hosted websites to become broken in Google search and other areas where they were linked.
