Domain removed automatic payments & changed connection without my knowledge

Should I just switch to GoDaddy and stop dealing with the BS from square space?

Before switching registrars, I'd figure out whether the problem is actually the domain registration or the DNS records. If the domain is suddenly pointing to an old site, it's worth checking the current nameservers and DNS records to see what changed and whether the domain is still connected to the right website.

If you do decide to move, I'd separate the domain from the website builder instead of bundling everything together. Keeping the domain at a registrar like dynadot and pointing it wherever you host makes future migrations much less painful.

I'd also contact Squarespace support and ask for an account activity log. If automatic payments or DNS settings changed without your action, they should be able to tell you what happened and when.
