Google Domains, the domain provider branch of the Google corporation, was launched as a beta program back in 2015. Despite remaining in beta status, they are still one of the best domain providers in the US and there are many advantages to using their service. The most obvious one: Reputation. Google has been a powerhouse on the Internet for decades, dominating in the search engine, email and app categories. This domain register is reliable and you can be guaranteed a top-notch product, keeping in line with the rest of Google’s services.
Google Domains are easy to integrate with many well-known website builders, web hosts and app hosts. Google Domains also offer a custom email feature through Google Workspace so that you can maintain a professional appearance with your email correspondence, and they also offer email forwarding to your main account, should you choose to create alias accounts (up to 100 additional accounts are permitted). Google Domains also offer up to 100 subdomains for your website.
Google Domains, while still competitive, is a slightly pricier domain provider. Their 2 year nominal price comes in at $24, and while private registration and ICANN is free of charge, they do not include Wildcard SSL in their packages, so you will have to fork out extra and set that up yourself. Their total effective price once all the features have been added comes in at $24. However, it should be kept in mind that Google Domains has the widest range of additional plugins available free of charge, including domain management tools, a widely familiar interface, domain forwarding and private domain registration, to name a few.
Google Domains has a well-established customer support service, with 24 hour phone, chat and email support. They also have an extremely well versed support document archive, so finding the solution to an issue yourself is easy.
