So now my domains can be hosted by a company famed for its responsive and transparent customer service!

I've never needed support from any registrar as long as the AUTH Code retrieval and unlock process works...

Google: Our bot has blocked your domain for a specific reason. Please whine on hackernews and hope for frontpage to reach support.

I would far rather deal with Google than GoDaddy or some of the other domain registrants I've dealt with. I realize some people have had poor customer service experiences with Google, but mine have always been OK. Obviously I speak as a consumer, if I were running a business depending on Google services my support needs would be more urgent and my expectations higher.

I would rather deal with DNSimple than Google.

"No additional cost for private registration" is badly required in the industry, and glad to see Google take the lead. Also, there should be an option to 301 redirect your blogspot blog to a domain held by Google. Lots of bloggers have outgrown their .blogspot.com blogs.

http://register4less.com/ offers free private registration. No affiliation, just a happy customer.

Oh, come now… At least they'll be careful about your privacy.
