Google Domains - for medium size businesses

Incentivized
Suzy Vera, MBAView profile
Corporate Director of Human Resources in Human Resources at Juvia Miami Beach (201-500 employees employees)

Pros

  • Very smooth technology. No glitches or meltdowns.
  • Good value for the money- we can attach aliases to existing email accounts minimizing the number of users we have to spend money on hosting.
  • Great web page hosting - we have never had an issue with hosting, maintenance, etc.
  • Easy to use administrator interface

Cons

  • In the infrequent occasions that there is an issue or question that comes up, they could REALLY improve customer support. To be honest, the support is nonexistent and requires you to read through loads of technical FAQs and write in, which is very frustrating. Luckily there are so few issues with it that you really don’t have to worry!

Return on Investment

  • Value for the money- save on having multiple users by using the alias email option.
  • Able to manage employees, devices, and storage.
  • Tons of hosting space
