Google Domains

User interface very friendly and easy to use

Reliability, this service just works as intended

Excellent domain search tool

It's not available [in] many countries

Pricing is not great

Support is not great

Clear pricing structure

Reminder emails about payments and security updates

Setting up custom email based on domain name

Some competitors will offer better prices for various domains

Doesn't offer as many small extensions as some competitors

Includes privacy registration standard

Very simple to manage renewals

Simple to program redirects, CNAME, etc.

Reasonable cost

Confidence in reputation of Google

For the uninitiated, some more teaching around how to use DNS settings

Make it easier to see a payment plan for each domain

Easy to use for non tech savvy businesses.

Ability to transfer a domain to them is very easy.

Simple GUI

More expensive.

Google Domains does not have country designated TLD

Google Domains is NOT hosting.

Affordable Pricing: No promo codes are needed.

It's very easy to purchase a domain.

Very easy to maintain your domain once you have purchased it.

User-Friendly.

It's designed so that anyone can use it.

Some kind of ability to work to obtain domains that are owned by someone else.

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

In the infrequent occasions that there is an issue or question that comes up, they could REALLY improve customer support. To be honest, the support is nonexistent and requires you to read through loads of technical FAQs and write in, which is very frustrating. Luckily there are so few issues with it that you really don’t have to worry!

It is affordable, which makes it great for small businesses, artists, musicians, & other creatives.

It has user friendly tools & integration that allow someone with little to no knowledge of coding to take control of their online presence.

It includes a custom email with your domain, rather than as an upcharge.

Would love to see more integration with tools like Constant Contact or other email marketing tools.

Google Domains' ease-of-use is one of the key benefits when compared to other services that I've used

Google Domains is integrated with complementary services such as Google Sites (which I also use)

Google Domains' registration fee includes contact information security at no additional cost

Google Domains' first level support is self-help online support. 24/7 online chat support is also available. This support is for 'experienced' users

Making recorded video tutorial available for the various features would be helpful to novice users

Google Domains is easy to use, from searching for your URL, to paying for it.

If you already have a Gmail account, you don't need to create a new login to use Google Domains.

$12/year for a .com address isn't a bad price to pay at all.

The main interface could use an update to bring it in line with the rest of Google's products.

I'd like to see more domain suffixes available.

If Google Domains also offered hosting with Google, that would be cool, too.

Clear Pricing Structure

Clean interface with no distractions

Integrations with other apps

Google Domains shows you clearly when the domain expires, however, when it is auto-renewed, all you see is a circle of two arrows. I would to either hover and it tell me when it is renewing or have the date and stating Auto Renewal.

It is still in Beta. They could kill the project, which is an uncomfortable thought. I would like them to take it out of Beta.

Email and MX records I have had to get support with several times. It would be great if there was a link right at the bottom or top of the dashboard for a tutorial with the information to put into the records correctly. It would save a lot of time and research.

UI Simplicity

Ease of use

The ability to backup your emails before deleting a certain account

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.

Process of buying a domain with Google Domains is easy

Payment was simple - can use Google Wallet and other forms of payment.

After purchase, you can quickly build a website with one of their partners.

Email forwarding add-on for free.

Domain pricing was not the lowest on the market. Good but not the best.

Transferring certain types of domains is trickier than expected.

Lacks any sort of bulk capabilities for those with lots of domains.

Very easy purchasing process

Excellent prompts for domains to consider

Always gave timely updates on upcoming deadlines

Sometimes they use a bit too much jargon so I had to read something 3 times to fully understand what they were saying

Labeling and folders. It is easy to set up Google Domains to autodetect words in inbound emails and then pre-sort the emails appropriately.

Ease of use for executive staff and very good email portability to mobile phones or iPads.

UI - it is much more intuitive in my opinion than Outlook.

Forwarding - again much more intuitive than other email platforms.

Google Domains is pretty good at pre-solving email faux pas such as reply all mishaps. Perhaps a built-in email monitoring tool such as knowing when a customer opens up an email would be good. You can get these features with integrations, but what if it was an internal Google product? Might be nice

Email masking was a bit difficult to figure out, but nothing you can't discover with a few Google sessions.

I wish I could see more insight into time zones that my customers are in, or scheduling calls on Gcal with timezone awareness. I know this is super hard to code around though.

Finding alternative domains.

Nice overview of domains and their status

Clear expiration labels

Cheaper for some TLD's like .io

Provide exclusive TLD's

Easy sign up with existing Google account.

Very quick process from checking domain availability to buying the domain.

Affordable and competitive domain pricing.

Registering a domain is pretty straightforward and I did not see any particular areas of improvement at this time.

Integration with Google Suite.

Simple and easy to use.

They don't try to oversell me.

Integration with other website.

Easy interface.

It's on the more expensive side of domains.

Overall, it's hard for me think of different things I need. It's already a great product.

The setup for a new domain is super quick and easy.

The interface for setting up our new domain was very easy to navigate and provided some powerful tools if we really wanted to improve our analytics and integrations with other features they offer.

Their pricing was very competitive to other services we looked at and it allowed us to purchase it connected to our Google Admin, so all of our data is in one place.

If they offer a nice website builder like GoDaddy does, I could see that being an improvement.

I think they could do even more to add features that someone looking for a domain would also need for next steps.

They could integrate with even more third-party providers for webhosting.

Email management

Domain registration

Simple billing

Could use some free templates

Online help is a little difficult for the novice

The interface of Google Domains is far better than GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc., (no distracting ads, popups, weird checkout processes).

It's really easy to set up Google Apps (or email forwarding if that's needed).

Domain privacy is included with the purchase of a domain.

You'll have to get your SSL certificates somewhere else. A lot of people prefer to buy it at the same place they got their domain. Unfortunately, you can't get them here.

Google Domains doesn't have a Domain Auction area. So, if you're looking to auction off domains, you'll have to do it somewhere else.

I'd like to see some basic troubleshooting tools and more integration with other Google products (like Search Console, Analytics, etc).

Very efficient interface for searching domain options when looking to make a purchase.

Wide range of domain extensions.

Easy process for transferring in domains from other registrars or transferring out of Google Domains.

No support for sharing the management of domains.

Error messages related to existing records when adding multiple values to something like a TXT record are confusing.

Free private registration

Easy integration with Google Apps and Google App Engine

Great selection of TLDs

Easy integration with many hosting providers

Some more advanced features are more hidden or simplified, which keeps things simple for less advanced users, but makes things more confusing for power users.

If you are not taking advantage of the free private registration, prices can be higher than some competitors, like Namecheap.
