Changing to Google Domains

The day has come for website builders and to break the price fixing of GoDaddy.com and other hosting giants like HostGator.com.

It was announced the other day: Marketing Land: Google Opens Its Domain Registration Service To All U.S. Users.  

For $12 a year you can park your domains at Google and private registration is included. I have held my domains at 1and1.com because they initially offered them for $4.95 for the first year. They went up to $9.95 the next year and then to $14.95 a year recently. Those prices at 1and1.com included private registration which many other companies like HostGator and Godaddy will charge an additional $7.95 to $9.95 for it. 

I had 2 domains up for renewal that I have decided to give Google a try with their domain management. I just hope Google this means that Google will improve Blogger and their other website builder tools. Hopefully I can move all of my websites over to Google for a lower cost before I have to renew my HostGator package in a couple of years.
