Where Should I Buy a Domain Name for My Website?
GoDaddy, HostGator, BlueHost, Tucows– there are literally a million different website domain name registrars to choose from when buying a domain name. As a web development company, every time we think we have dealt with them all, another one seems to pop up.
Most domain name providers have a few things in common:
- Slow propagation times for DNS updates
- Poor email support response time
- Long wait times for telephone support
- Cheesy smooth jazz or elevator hold music
- Cheap domain names, expensive private registration upsell tactics
- Domain name addons upsell tactics
The truth is that using a cheap domain name provider is like buying cut rate car insurance. Saving a few dollars a year is great until you have a problem and need help.
Whether it’s a lost password, username or technical issue, chances are you will need technical support at some point in time. When that time comes it’s no fun for anyone involved.
Buying & Managing a Website Domain Name Made Easy
There are very few points in time where a company hits the nail on the head with a product or service. Something that leaves the competition in the dust, and hits every checkbox from a design and functionality standpoint.
In our experience, Google Domain Names is one of those services.
