This is great. Google is a company that is very serious about security, and has essentially no customer support so no way to social engineer your way around that security. Perfect for domains.

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.
Based on pricing ($9.99/.com) and a growing irritation with GoDaddy, I finally moved my domains to Dynadot:
They have a (custom) 2FA app and 2FA SMS. BTW this friend referral https://www.dynadot.com/?s9N6j7d9G8B07i73 gives you & me $5 after purchase.
I'm amazed that Google did not buy godaddy when it was purchased by private equity.
Really, Google? You are calling the new gTLDs "domain endings"? Is that what we're supposed to call them?
If I were targeting that market, I would also prefer "domain endings" over "gTLDs".
So now my domains can be hosted by a company famed for its responsive and transparent customer service!
Exactly my thoughts. It may be acceptable-ish for a personal home page, but using this for anything that's remotely useful and/or has more than one user, no way in hell. Already tried that with email (Google Apps for Business), and the punishment was swift like the new Apple programming language.
wow, first Google's phone support
Just as an aside, the startup I work at provides these services with Google Apps included. We handle automatic domain registration, DNS setup, automate the process of verifying your Google Apps account, allow Single Sign-On to GMail, and more. I'm guessing the tech crowd would particularly find the automated google verification interesting. The other best part is we match the pricing of a Google Apps for Business acc…
It looks like you registered your own domain with GoDaddy and use NeuStar for DNS. I also can't find you guys listed on the ICANN accredited registrar list. Not really providing "these services." Just a web hosting shop with some automation and reseller agreements. Sorry.
In regards to accredited registrars, there's plenty of low hanging fruit out there and building out a registrar was not in our sites for our initial launch.
I can comment that EPP is in scope and we're doing some really cool shit behind the scenes in upcoming releases that would satiate your qualms in the future. I can't really comment on all fronts; but stay tuned!

Sure, Postini. They basically transferred everyone over to Google Apps. I'm not entirely sure how that worked, though.
I don't think new users can sign up for Postini, but they're still supporting it.
