Workaround for Transferring Third-Party Domains into Google Cloud Domains

Google Cloud Compute Infrastructure
1

Hello,

I am moving my entire infrastructure (Static Hosting via GCS, Cloud Build CI/CD) to Google Cloud and I have credits I would like to use to consolidate my billing.

I understand that since the Squarespace acquisition, the “Transfer In” feature for third-party registrars (like Namecheap) has been disabled in the Cloud Domains console.

My Questions:

  1. Is there any existing workaround to transfer domain registration directly into a GCP project for unified billing?

  2. For developers who want a 100% unified experience within the GCP Console, what is the recommended long-term path for domain management?

Currently, I am forced to manage DNS in Cloud DNS while keeping the registration at a separate registrar, which fragments the workflow.

Thank you!
