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 better integration with Google services as well.

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.

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 user-friendliness cannot be overstated. Who had the time (or desire!) to manage business domains? We have just completed moving all our domains to Google.

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

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 purchased domains. Plus the pricing is simple and affordable.

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.

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).

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 works best for me.

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 domain registration. The support is also very focused. Not upsells, downsells, just plain out of the box, let's solve the issue support.

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 integration and easy billing options.

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 no. Need some more tweaks to get to those types of companies.

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 being logged into your email, instead of worrying about yet another log in.

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 fluid. If I were a CEO I would choose Google Domains over any other choice with no hesitation.

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 everything under one Google account is very attractive. Ultimately, it's the reason I use Google Domains instead of Gandi.net.

I like the simplicity of the domain being tied to my longstanding Google account.

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 domains, however, it's a pain to transfer out if you don't want to use Squarespace anymore. Google Domains is the easy and simplest out of the three.

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 service and platform starts to feel out dated.

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 the interruptions of "deals" and "offers" like you find with GoDaddy.

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 push products in GoDaddy. These ads are often not subtle at all and can be quite annoying and distracting from what you are trying to accomplish. Google Domains' interface is much cleaner, more modern, and streamlined. Of course that means that it has fewer bells and whistles that are only useful to a small audience.

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 cheaper in the long run.
