Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Google Domains for all of our URLs. It is both simple to use and easy to manage. That the registration includes privacy protection addresses an often hidden cost that other registrars sneak in. Seeing all of our myriad domains in one place, clarity around renewing, and the ability to sort by various values is also helpful. And the price is reasonable/competitive with other registrars.

Pros and Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

After having domain management spread across several registrars, it is such a relief to have everything in one place. And using one clear, simple solution rather than having to figure out a new navigation and approach to different registrars is a relief! That it has a simple to use and understand interface is icing on the cake. I also appreciate how mobile-friendly this app is! Can’t think of another registrar I can say that about. And if you use Google Office for your business, this becomes a no-brainer.

Return on Investment

Time-saving
Single stop for all my business needs (Google Office integration)
Fast and easy changes possible
Mobile friendly for on-the-go business

Alternatives Considered

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.

Other Software Used

Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), Zoom

Usability

When on desktop or mobile, the minimalist design and functionality of Google Domains is welcome. Because we use Google Workplace, the integration is simple. Management is fast and easy, and it offers on-the-go ease. Google is very consistent in its user interfaces and usability, so there’s no wasted time in a new learning curve. And the price is right!

Easy Tasks

Manage renewals
Change redirects
Keep track of all domains in one place

Mobile Interface Availability and Impressions

Yes

The mobile interface is awesome. It is almost easier than desktop. Google’s consistent minimalist design really works well here. It is fast, accessible, and simple.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's used for all domain registrations. Instead of using a myriad of other registrars like DreamHost, Gandi, or any of the others, everything is registered through Google Domains. It has a nice interface and integrates well with other Google products, which we make pretty heavy use of.

Pros and Cons

Finding alternative domains.
Nice overview of domains and their status
Clear expiration labels

Cheaper for some TLD's like .io
Provide exclusive TLD's

Likelihood to Recommend

If you're registering a domain name, chances are Google Domains is all you need. Unless you need a specific TLD that Google doesn't have the ability to sell, you'll be able to register .com, .net, .io, .org and many other TLD's. Especially well suited if you're already using Google for other things. If you're unsure of Google's ability to adhere to the "don't be evil" phrase, you may want to stay away from Google Domains.

Return on Investment

.io domains are a bit more expensive with Google Domains than they are at Gandi.net.
In general, prices are very competitive.

Alternatives Considered

DreamHost and GoDaddy

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.
