Why buy a domain through Google Workspace

Common questions about buying a domain while signing up for Google Workspace

Is my domain going to be registered with Google Domains?

  • You can choose whether you want to buy a domain from Google Domains or one of Google’s partner domain hosting companies, such as GoDaddy and Enom.

Is buying a domain a one-time purchase?

  • No, it’s never a one-time purchase. When you buy a domain, you need to renew it by making yearly payments.

How much does a domain cost through Google?

  • A domain ending at .com typically costs around $10-12 per year, and the price doesn’t increase upon renewal.
