Considered Both Products

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.
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 …
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 …
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.
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 …
Chose Google Domains
Google Domains is a lot easier to use however they are a little bit more spendy on price.
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 …
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.
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).
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …

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.

I would tell a colleague to stay clear of Yahoo Web Hosting/Yahoo Small Business. Our business has been with Yahoo due to the fact that there was nothing else around at the time of our signing up with them. Since then there are much better alternatives as the fact that Yahoo has virtually no third party support really hurts it, and the fact that it is so barebones and hard to customize and work in the back end makes it so that you have to find one of the few expensive developers that specialize in Yahoo. This is another huge hurdle if you plan to build a good website.

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

  • Yahoo Web Hosting/Small Business is above else, cheap in pricing at the very least in terms of monthly costs.
  • The backend of Yahoo Web Hosting/ Small Business is customizable, assuming you can find one of the few developers that can code for it.
  • We were given a dedicated account manager though I believe it was because of how long we were with yahoo and how many complaints we had.

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.

  • Extremely old and outdated back end.
  • Yahoo Web Hosting is at the very least customizable but everything beyond just running a simple store requires custom work that you will have to pay an expensive developer to fix for you.
  • Yahoo Web Hosting is a complete mess in terms of branding and policies. In the span of our last year with them, they went from Yahoo to Yahoo small business to Aabaco and then back to Yahoo and each time were assigned a different account manager.
  • Abysmal customer service, every time we had to open a ticket we had a customer service agent in India that could not fix our issue and we were eventually assigned an account manager after numerous complaints.
  • Barely any apps or app eco system on Yahoo.
  • Frequent down times caused by Yahoo Web Hosting cost our business lots of lost revenue.
  • So antiquated and backwards, they were one of the last companies that I know of to switch over to https, we reached out to them several times to switch our website to https and it took an agonizing amount of time for Yahoo to implement it for all their customers.

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!

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.

The customer support for Yahoo Web hosting is a complete disaster. Every call is transferred to a technical support department that is in India which usually isn't an issue as that is the norm for a lot of businesses, however, this technical support team in Yahoo does not know how to diagnose issues or offer support. Every issue we had some, some critical like why is our website down were met with clueless customer support agents that would get back to us in 48 hours minimum. Eventually, we were given an account manager that actually did his best and was able to get to the right people at times for critical issues but it still was a complete hassle and waste of time every time we had any issue with Yahoo Web hosting.

After we departed Yahoo Web hosting we found out that there are numerous much better web hosting platforms, the main we focused on were Shopify, GoDaddy, BigCommerce, and WordPress. Between either is a much better alternative than Yahoo Web hosting as they all have much better third party support, more familiarity in the platforms which means more developers that are familiar with the platforms. Above all else, all three of these companies have stood the test of time and haven't rebranded themselves into different company names like Yahoo did with Aabaco and back and are much better for any small business.

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.

  • Yahoo Web Hosting impacted our business in a very negative way with all the time we wasted and revenue we lost.
  • Our biggest loss of revenue was deciding to stay longer than we had to with Yahoo Web Hosting as the cost of moving to another platform was high but we had no choice.
  • Yahoo Web Hosting constantly interfered with our workflow with its lack of third party support and poor customer service and constant downtimes.
  • For instance when we wanted to find an inventory system for our business virtually NO ONE supported Yahoo.
