Overall Satisfaction with Google Domains

I use Google Domains as first choice for my clients and myself for many reasons. Most importantly, for GSuite and the many other integrations that are available. It is super clean and easy to understand immediately. There is laser like focus when I am on the platform with no distractions so I get about the business of domain registering, building, and connecting. Transfers from one domain owner to another, in my experience, have been fast as well. There is no guesswork, blind pricing, constant upsells, etc. It is just flat out...domain. I like that.
  • 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.
  • Google Domains has had a positive impact from the beginning on my business with security is the major factor.
  • Covered privacy
  • Everything in one place.
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.
Google Domains is well suited for any company that wants simple pricing with no games and a need to link their professional email same day. This will get it done quickly. Google Domains also makes it incredibly easy to verify your website for Google Search Console and Google Webmasters. Being able to link it to My Business Google account is another great point and verification is obviously faster.
