I knew that Google was a licensed domain registrar and has been for a couple of years now, but I always wondered why and like others speculated that they were using registration info in search algorithms. Now we know what they've been planning and it has launched
Google has launched a public beta of its Google Domains service in the US. It primarily focuses on offering businesses a way to claim their website domain name as well as web page creation features.
Improved search and suggestion experience to help you find the perfect domain name
Over 60 new domain endings like .company, .florist and .coffee
A simple dashboard to manage your domain, website and email settings
The integration of Blogger so you can create a blog and easily connect it to your domain
The ability to quickly browse website template themes and compare the plans and features of our website building providers
Dynamic DNS so you can setup your domain and keep it pointing to the same computer even when the IP address changes.

Here's the official registration portal:

I can't wait for all of the noobs to start writing blog posts and telling clients that purchasing through Google will boost their SEO score. Although I suppose technically they certainly could do that...it would destroy their credibility with marketers and pretty much everyone in the world.
One thing is for sure, for the most part I like Google products. Having all of my domains under my Google account where all of my other business stuff is would be much easier. And I'm not that fond of Go Daddy to begin with and managing domains from anything but a desktop or laptop is about 3 years behind the tech curve. Go Daddy has not improved.
Unless I hear of any problems, this will likely be my new registrar.
