Four Eyes
Google Domains: A barebones domain name registration service that has exactly what you need!
Four Eyes, like its clients, has a registered domain name and a lot more than one. The cost of keeping a domain registered can add up, especially when you own a dozen or more. Google Domains is a domain name registration service (Registrar) service offered by Google. It is still in the beta stage, albeit there is nothing beta about it. It is a bare-bones registrar with services like:
- Free private domain registration,
- Free email forwarding to any Gmail address
- Free domain forwarding
- Fully configurable DNS, Host, Resource, and Synthetic records
The service does not offer a “build-your-own-website” feature. This is fine by me as those tools are clumsy and produce sub-par results. They do offer solutions from a few third-party” build-your-own-website” partners. However, the real beauty of the Google Domain service is that it gives you all the basic and advanced tools you need to manage your domain. You can build your website with any host and get your website registered for about $12/year.
Aside from not having the awful “build-your-own-website” feature, Google’s domain service has everything the other registrars offer at much less cost and really easy to use. If you transfer in a domain, you get the year (or more you’re purchased from Google) plus anytime leftover from your previous registrar.
