I’ve been involved in web dev in different forms for 20 years, but I’ve never done anything with these types of websites.

My questions are:

* When you register a domain with them, is the domain legally yours?

* Are there any SEO penalties for using these apps to build websites? Does anyone own a website or client site hosted on Squarespace or similar that’s ranking high on Google?

I can see the benefit for developers but I’m wondering about the benefits for clients.

I know many of us have side projects that we know are never going to garner interest for acquisitions. They might be projects we built for learning or just hobbies.

But I'm wondering how many of you own a viable money-making venture that you don't ever intend to sell? That is, one that's currently paying the bills or better.

Of course, everyone has their price, but in general, do you currently run a business that you have no exit plan for and would not sell unless the price was exorbitant?
