Google Domains

Integration with Google cloud resources (a la AWS Route 53), 10 million lookups/year free, pricing appears off the bat to be $12/year, free private registration.

And support! "With Google Domains, you get phone and email support (M-F, 9am to 9pm EST)."

the price seems to inc DNS and subdomains if you get all that for 12$/yr that would be pretty neat

I wonder how they will staff the support. Contractors or employees? Has Google bought a domain company recently?

This looks like a sensational service.

Curious the sign up for an invitation only asked if you've bought a domain before.

google has attempted domain names previously, and it has previously sucked, very badly, 1. you could never get to a customer support, no phone number, and emails were all auto responses sending you to faq 2. there was no dedicated dashboard for domain management, billing etc

this is a revamp and product consolidation and it is super late to the game, hopefully the transition for current users will be easy
