• Will Norris uses it and highly recommends it:
  • 2014-06-23 Will Norris: Google Domains (archived)

• gRegor Morrill: I tried it on 2017-07-21 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 $20/year from the $12/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.
