Considered Both Products	Google Domains Steven Fuller, MBA Plant Manager Chose Google Domains Squaredspace purchased Google domains back on September 7th, 2023, and it is the perfect merger of online companies that provide a seamless service. Incentivized Helpful? TN Tyler Newman Marketing Director Chose Google Domains All of these products are very similar. You can design a whole site with Squarespace, which is nice. I believe you can also do that through GoDaddy. We prefer to use HostGator as we exclusively use WordPress Elementor for all of our sites, so HostGator is perfect for us at this … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Google Domains Google Domains is focused on domain registration only, instead of providing hosting solutions. So it can be a good option if your client has a server but needs a domain for a new website. Also, as it's only one service, it's much easier to use than other solutions and has … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Google Domains Google Domains is probably the easiest to use if you already use a suite of Google services and would like an easy way to connect them. However, Google Domains does not offer any sort of hosting services, so you'll have to search for that elsewhere. Incentivized Helpful? Nancy Chorpenning Founder and Managing Director Chose Google Domains Google Domains feels like a dedicated domain registrar, despite including many optional services. Too many others feel schizophrenic about their identities. I prefer to manage our domains in an easy-to-access app that is constantly reliable. The simplicity of management and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Google Domains Google Domains is a lot easier to use however they are a little bit more spendy on price. Incentivized Helpful? JaCoby Marston, CPA Chief Financial Officer Chose Google Domains I have used GoDaddy for other domains that I have owned, and I have to say that I love Google Domains. Google Domains in my new number one choice for purchasing a domain. Google Domains is so much easier to use for the purchasing process, and it is also easy to maintain your … Incentivized Helpful? Lori Scarmardo Program Administrator - Public Power Pool (P3) Chose Google Domains My past experience with GoDaddy has not been positive. Customer Support has been weak & I've found that clients have had a difficult time using their service & navigating management of their own sites after my initial work is complete. Incentivized Helpful? David H. Deans Principal Consultant Chose Google Domains Compared to my prior experience with other domain registration services, Google Domains is the best overall value (with no coupons or other discounts are required to be competitive, unlike their competition). Incentivized Helpful? Cameron Aubernon Freelance Writer Chose Google Domains GoDaddy's CEO's behavior put me off of hosting both my site and URL with the company long ago, and Namecheap is okay. Since I'm on board with Google already, however, and since Google does offer domain names, why not go with Google Domains for my business? It's simply what … Incentivized Helpful? Renea Hanks Owner Chose Google Domains Google Domains has a cleaner interface with simple pricing. To me, keeping it simple is the most important part. I also like email settings within GSuite, and the integrations with so many of the apps and software I currently use make Google Domains my preferred choice for … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Google Domains Getting a domain via Google just makes more sense than any other provider. They aren't gonna bombard you with ads and try to upsell you products or services. Also, if you use G Suite it makes even more sense to choose Google Domains over any other provider because of the … Incentivized Helpful? Erin Ruoff Director of Social Marketing Chose Google Domains Google Domains is not on par with either of these competitors at the moment. I think they will be in a few years but have some growing to do. The support and interface are easy and simple which lands them as a contender for small businesses but for larger corporations, I'd say … Incentivized Helpful? Brad Price Director of Human Resources Chose Google Domains GoDaddy is great, but what I really like about Google Domains when compared to GoDaddy is the ease of centralization. Our email, calendar, accounts, domain, etc was all handled in one place and that made things really easy. You could also access domains easily and quickly by … Incentivized Helpful? Becky Jewell Laughton Operations Analyst: Customer Success Chose Google Domains Google Domains worked better in terms of saving time via integrations, and it managed to work for all departments of our companies - sales, product, support, success, executive - Google Domains worked for everyone. Outlook seemed to be too cumbersome and the UI was not as … Incentivized Helpful? Tyler Longren Wordpress Developer Chose Google Domains Dreamhost's registrations are tightly coupled with their other services, none of which we use. It's overkill for just domain registration. GoDaddy is also overkill for the same reason as DreamHost. Gandi.net is a fair comparison and is probably slightly cheaper. However, having … Incentivized Helpful? James McQuillin Owner Chose Google Domains I like the simplicity of the domain being tied to my longstanding Google account. Incentivized Helpful? Brian Chung Graphic Designer Chose Google Domains Google Domains is by far the best out of the three. Godaddy is too complicated and it oversells all its things. Bluehost is old and not up to date - it's hard to integrate unless you know something about domains. Squarespace is a website design site where you can purchase … Incentivized Helpful? Jared DeLong Communications Manager Chose Google Domains I didn't do a ton of research into the differences between the two, but Google Domains was a lot more simple and straightforward to set up. They also have a cheaper price and provided some services to walk you through setting it up much more quickly and logically. GoDaddy's … Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Hardesty Project Manager Chose Google Domains Google Domains is the clear winner compared to competitors like GoDaddy and Namecheap. Google Domains seems to be cheaper overall (when you factor in Domain Privacy which is included with the purchase of a domain). Also, the checkout process is extremely simple and doesn't have … Incentivized Helpful? Michael Prentice Founder Chose Google Domains I've used GoDaddy for many years, but the user interface is very complex and confusing. It also feels quite outdated in many areas. They have started to modernize some parts of their app, but the general user experience is not great. There is a significant push to advertise and … Incentivized Helpful? Zachary Yaro Developer Chose Google Domains Google Domains and Namecheap are both undeniably better than GoDaddy—better companies, less confusing interfaces, and generally lower prices. Namecheap usually has lower prices on domains, and definitely has more sales, but Google Domains's free private registration can make it … Incentivized Helpful?	MarkMonitor No answer on this topic

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Single domain users and small businesses, yes. Great for those just needing one domain and an easy interface to build or buy their website. For those with a bunch of domain names to house them all, Google Domains isn’t the place for you. They are lacking in the bulking capabilities that GoDaddy and HostGator provide. Incentivized Erin Ruoff Director of Social Marketing Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Very smooth technology. No glitches or meltdowns. Good value for the money- we can attach aliases to existing email accounts minimizing the number of users we have to spend money on hosting. Great web page hosting - we have never had an issue with hosting, maintenance, etc. Easy to use administrator interface Incentivized Suzy Vera, MBA Corporate Director of Human Resources Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	The only problem with Google Domains is that you only have access to the basic domain extensions. The new, cool domains are only available on GoDaddy and other providers. Hopefully this will change soon. Domain pricing was not the lowest on the market. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	Unless the product goes away, I'll continue using it. Incentivized Tyler Longren Wordpress Developer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Because it is intuitively easy to use, like all of their products. The integration with other apps works seamlessly, and you can have a professional website within hours, rather than days, as with most hosting companies. The templates on the website builder for just about every business make it so simple that even I can do it! Incentivized Steven Fuller, MBA Plant Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	I've never actually had to use support because everything has been very straightforward and I have not had a glitch. I have used Google's support for other items so I can only imagine that it's probably the same support which is decent. They do take a while to get back to you.

Alternatives Considered	Google Domains is focused on domain registration only, instead of providing hosting solutions. So it can be a good option if your client has a server but needs a domain for a new website. Also, as it's only one service, it's much easier to use than other solutions and has better integration with Google services as well.

Return on Investment	Positive: Google Domains streamlined inter-company communication as well as customer-facing communication. There was no split between these two channels of communication, making life easier and communication much faster. Positive: The integration with Salesforce allowed staff to log emails right from Gmail instead of repeatedly from Salesforce itself. Integrations are key. Positive: folders and labeling and the ease of use for this saved tons of time and headache.
