#42> Use Google Synthetic Records for integration with Google App Engine, subdomain forwarding and Google Apps setup What is Google Synthetic Records? Google Search doesn't know.
If I had to guess, it offers a service similar to what Route 53 and DNSimple offer for cloud-hosted apps: A CNAME-like functionality but that functions at the root level record.

#43When a giant shakes, everyone moves. It doesn't even have to be particularly disruptive -- this is good for everyone who owns or brokers domains.

#44"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.
Gandi (https://www.gandi.net/) is quite well-known for having free private domain registration.
Re: Google Domains
#45Serious question: What happens in three years when Google decides to "sunset" this service like Wave, Labs, Reader, Buzz, Code Search, Knol, etc? Their target audience doesn't know how to work with registrars, which puts them in the worst possible situation when Google Domains is dropped. Will they help their users transition to other registrars?
Re: Google Domains
#46Not on your life. Domains simply aren't complicated or expensive enough to think twice about feeding Google's consolidation and analytics game. Perhaps harsh, but come on. Domains.
Agree 1000%. Just one more way for them to connect the dots. No thanks.
They have had registrar-level access for quite some time already, presumably using that to "connect the dots" of domain ownership. So this just takes it to the next level... now they can see 'inside' private domain registrations? What else could they do with this that they can't already do? Hmm.
Re: Google Domains
#47So now my domains can be hosted by a company famed for its responsive and transparent customer service!
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.
Try Hover. Customer support is great and there's zero up-selling when buying a domain. It's a couple dollars more than GoDaddy but more than worth it.

Actually 1&1 has been offering that free private registration for a while. I switched from GoDaddy a few years ago.
