Have you ever used Google Domains?

[redemo]

I constantly see Google Domains ranked top or very near the top of Google for domain name related searches. Manipulation? Conspiracy? Coincidence? Merit? So I have a very simple question for all of you domainers out there about https://domains.google..

Of course, there are manipulations when it comes to Google's SERPs.

Yes, I have used them in the past. Expensive, like $12 a year for registration. Other than that, their interface is sort of bare bones...kind of refreshing, actually...they are not trying to sell anything.

I don't think Google is really in the domain name business. Rather, I believe they just maintain the registrar service as a convenience for their G-Suite customers.

How many domain names are registered at Google Domains each year, that's what I want to know. Is there any public resource you could use to find out? @Bob Hawkes

1.5 % market share and top of Google. Now that's what I call a scam.
