Google now sells domains, as well as email through GSuite.
I use them a lot on new projects, because I find them so insanely convenient, but I can't help shake the feeling that now I'm both the product and a paying customer.
So I'd probably nuance your words with: "select a provider whose livelihood depends on your custom".
- tobijkl 6y agoCan you access the DNS records of the domain you bought if your Google Account is ever locked?
- zymhan 6y agoNot OP, but I can, since I bought the domain elsewhere and just point MX records at Google. If you buy a domain through Google, you should still be able to transfer it to another registrar.
- nottorp 6y agoIf you want to get your own domain to take control of your identity, do NOT under any circumstances register it through a hosting package. Ideally keep it separate from everything, including your email provider. And do NOT register it through a provider whose only support is Machine Learning!(tm).
- fuzzy2 6y agoOr better yet, get the domain elsewhere. (Not GoDaddy either.) You can the use whatever service you want. G Suite, Exchange Online, roll your own, …
- justinclift 6y agoIf recommendations are useful here, both EasyDNS (easydns.com) and Hover (hover.com) seem ok. I've used both over the years, though the EasyDNS UI is a bit harder to work with. They seem more technically competent than Hover though, who are decent but not fantastic. ;)
