Google Domains
Need a good registrar?
Google Domains has been sold to Squarespace
Does Google have your domains? They will automatically move to Squarespace with the promise to keep the price
the same "for the first year". On the second year renewal the price will go up.
Do you want to keep the Google price for future renewals? I think I have a solution for you.
I had several domains with Google. I always liked their service and I always recommended Google Domains to my
clients thinking that they were a permanent solution. When I saw that they were selling the domain division I
started looking for a new registrar. I wanted reasonable pricing but more important I wanted the DNS speed as
good (or better) than Google.
Looking for a new registrar took some time but luckily before I made a decision Wordpress sent me a email with a
deal that sounded really good.
From Wordpress:
As you may know, Google Domains has been sold to Squarespace and—while they’ve mentioned maintaining prices
for the first year—nothing says they won’t increase them later.
Transfer your domains to WordPress.com now, and we’ll pay all transfer fees plus an extra year of your
domain registration.
Yes, it’s a crazy deal, and we don’t know how long we can offer this, so act now!
Usually, when you switch registrars, you need to pay for an extra year of domain registration. Not with us.
We’ll pay all of your transfer fees and add an extra year of domain registration on us.
So, if you’re thinking of making the move, don’t hesitate—this offer won’t last for long.
And remember: you don’t need to host your site with us to park your domain here. Transfer your domain here,
and host your website anywhere on the web.
We’ll pay all your fees, plus an extra year of registration
Transfer your domains to WordPress.com and we’ll not only cover your transfer fees, we’ll also throw in an
extra year of your domain registration.
Low prices for life
We’re not only matching or beating Google Domains pricing, we’re also committed to keeping prices low and
will only raise them in line with any increased costs on our side.
Note that they make it clear that this is a "Limited Time Offer".
Wordpress claims their DNS is faster than Googles. I have moved all my domains to them and so far I am happy
with them. I did get a free year for each domain. It seems to be a really good deal for anyone who want to move
their domains away from Google.
