Overall Satisfaction with Google Domains

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

  • Includes privacy registration standard
  • Very simple to manage renewals
  • Simple to program redirects, CNAME, etc.
  • Reasonable cost
  • Confidence in reputation of Google

Cons

  • For the uninitiated, some more teaching around how to use DNS settings
  • Make it easier to see a payment plan for each domain
  • Time-saving
  • Single stop for all my business needs (Google Office integration)
  • Fast and easy changes possible
  • Mobile friendly for on-the-go business
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.

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.

Using Google Domains

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!
