Overall Satisfaction with Google Domains

As an avid Google user on all systems, we gave Google Domains a try. It is great for small business owners and for our company. We can cut out the middleman we usually go through to get our Domains through Google. It gives users a simple and easy way to search and buy domains.
  • 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.
  • Easy to recommend for our clients.
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.
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.
