For most modern businesses, it's important to have an online presence, yet many still haven't created their own websites. Google is hoping to decrease the amount of businesses without websites through its new domain registration service.
The latest research from Google reveals that many businesses (possibly even most) don't have a consumer website, as up to 55 percent of enterprises have failed to register a domain name. Google is now looking to target some small business owners that are lacking an online presence, by offering a domain registration service. The company hope get a slice of the multi-billion dollar industry dominated by the likes of GoDaddy and Crazy Domains.
Its new Google Domains service will allow customers to search, find, purchase and transfer domain names, including top-level domains such as .com, .biz, .org, similar to existing registration services.
Google Domains will be released alongside the existing Google My Business, as the company aims to expand its business application services. Digital Spy reports customers can keep ensure their details will remain confidential for no extra cost and will receive phone and email support, Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Google Domains is currently in beta and available to small businesses via invitation.
