Cheap Domain Renewals

[Michael Butash]

I second google domains, I have almost all mine there now.

After I quit working at Godaddy a second time in '14, I figured it was time
enough to divest myself of contributing to their financial success all
together, and found that migrating to and using Google domains was
painless, cheap, and well suited to provide the same level of
administration, even a better UI.  Even working at GD, I always hated their
websites and admin tools...  I hate putting all my eggs into one Google
basket, but I've seen and tried much worse over the years.
