It looks like CrunchBase may have gotten hacked. Their URL for Google points to a spam domain.
It's not doing that for me -- at least, it isn't right now, anyway. You might want to check your computer for malware.

#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
Private registration usually costs extra, but not with Google domains. That is a compelling reason to me. I also like the clean interface, some of the other vendors have horrible interfaces.
What is private registration?
Registration without revealing your private information in the whois database. Providers usually put their own details there and forward emails to the end user.
Depending on the registry, it's unavailable or at least against the rules for some tlds.

It's an add-on service that domain registrars offer which hides your personal information from the public.
When you register a domain, it's a requirements that you list contact information publicly. Companies usually don't mind doing this but many people don't want to list their home address and phone number for the world to see. Private registration lists a proxy company's information as the contact for the domain and they forward the information to you.

#45Knowing first hand google support I will stick to namecheap ...
+1. As much as I like the idea of managing everything from one place, Google's propensity to have crap-tier support and their other propensity to drop services with little warning means I've got no desire to even try this.
I hadn't considered Google's lack of commitment to their non-core services, but that's a good point. Over the years I've consolidated at Namecheap while several other providers shut down. For me, domains are a long-term service.

#46I don't think I would ever rely on Google to host an application critical to my business.

#47....in before "Google has decided to end support for this product; your 10-year-registered domains that last longer than next month will be moved to GoDaddy."
(edit: actually, they'd never voluntarily transfer your domain; they'd force you to transfer it, at some kind of discount. suffice to say i am less than confident)

#49Knowing first hand google support I will stick to namecheap ...
I like everything about namecheap, except the name. I hate having to mention their company name to a customer who I'm managing the domain for. It sounds like I'm using a discount service from the bottom of the barrel when that's really not how the company operates.
It would be nice if I could refer to a parent company with a more appealing name.
