Began open testing domain registration service Google Domains

Google Domains has moved from a private beta to a public beta. Now any user from the United States can register with a service that offers domain registration with additional features: free private registration, redirection of domain mail to Gmail, free domain redirection, support for up to 100 subdomains, and various options for first-level domains (including newfangled ones such as .guru and .club - full list ). Registration cost starts at $ 12 / year .

Google agreed with the providers of web services whose services can be immediately accessible to those who used this registration: Shopify (online megazin), Squarespace (CMS for blogs), Weebly (visual editor of sites), Wix (visual editor of sites). The service also supports Google Blogger’s own platform. You can register a domain and immediately join it to your Blogger account. Users have access to site templates to choose from, which are supported in the CMS of the above partners.

Apparently, Google’s policy is to equate the concepts of Google and the Internet for the end user - mail, website, and all other services cover almost the entire user presence on the Internet, except for the social network segment, which so far has not been cut off. Domain registration from an Internet giant should shake the position of the largest player in this market, GoDaddy, which went on an IPO just before the opening of Google.

Meanwhile, due to the rise in ruble prices, the largest Russian registrar, RU-Center, raises the cost of its services , he said in a press release , including the cost of extending existing domains. Now the domain in the .ru zone costs 600 p / year, in the .com zone - 840 p / year.
