- 2014εΉ΄06ζ23ζ₯ Will Norris : Google Domains (archived)
- gRegor Morrill : I tried it on 2017εΉ΄07ζ21ζ₯ to buy a new domain
- Really simple registration process
- DNS nameserver updates were also simple and propagated very quickly
- Over the following years, I moved most of my domains there from Domainmonster, partly because they were being acquired [1] and I enjoyed the Google Domains experience
- 2024-04: after domain registration migrated to Squarespace, I moved my domain registrations to Porkbun. I'm not a big fan of Squarespace and their pricing appeared it might go up to 20γγ«/year from the 12γγ«/year I was paying Google Domains.
- Dmitri Shuralyov uses it and highly recommends it:
- clean, simple, minimal UI and pleasant user experience
- Anthony Ciccarello used it on ciccarello.me for it's ease of setup, reasonable pricing, and simple email forwarding. Switched to NameCheap after the purchase by Squarespace was announced.
