Google Is Getting Into Domains. Should GoDaddy Worry?

Watch out, GoDaddy. Google is making moves on your turf.

It looks like the search giant is getting into the domain registrar business; Google has a "beta" site available at domains.google.com.

The service is invite-only for now, but it looks like it will provide a bevy of features typically found on registrars such as GoDaddy, Namecheap and Hover.

Google Domains

Google Domains boasts free private registrations, 10 million resolutions per year on Google's DNS servers, branded email that forwards to an existing mail account (not to be confused with Google Apps domain support) and domain forwarding. Google says it will support a variety of different gTLDs (generic top level domains), including offerings such as .photography and .guru that are rolling out over the next few months.

Google will also offer easy-access to additional site-building services from Squarespace, Shopify, Wix and Weebly for an additional fee for users that want an all-in-one approach to building out a website.
