Prices vary based on domain endings (TLDs) listed in the pricing table. For example, if you buy example.com, example.charity, and example.wiki, the yearly cost of each of these domains differ because the domain endings .com, .charity, and .wiki have different costs. The yearly price of each domain that you register is added to get the total cost. See the Pricing example.

Cloud Domains does not support the following kinds of domains:

• Premium domains
• Domains that require a trademark notice

Caution: Transferring a registered domain from a third-party domain registrar to Cloud Domains is deprecated and removed. For more information, see Google Domains feature deprecation.

Subscription billing (for Cloud Billing accounts outside Brazil)

The Subscription billing model bills you the yearly amount for the domain in the first month following a domain registration, renewal, or transfer. This applies to all domains that are registered, renewed, or transferred at Cloud Domains general availability.

Charges from Cloud Domains show up on your invoice under Charges not specific to a project because the charges are tied to the Cloud Billing account.

The Subscription billing model is not included in the Enterprise Discount Program.

Commitment billing (for Cloud Billing accounts in Brazil)

If your Cloud Billing account has a Brazil address, the Commitment billing model bills you 1/12 of the total cost every month for the next 12 months until the domain expires. This applies to all domains that are registered, renewed, or transferred at Cloud Domains general availability.

Charges from Cloud Domains show up on your invoice under Charges not specific to a project because the charges are tied to the billing account.

The Subscription billing model is not included in the Enterprise Discount Program.

If you choose to transfer a registered domain to another registrar during the 12-month period from your registration, renewal, or transfer to Cloud Domains date, you are charged a cancellation fee. The cancellation fee is equal to the unbilled portion of the annual cost of the domain.

When you register a domain using Cloud Domains, you are committing to paying for a full year of registration.

When you transfer in a domain from another provider, billing is as follows.

• Your existing registration time with your original provider is maintained.
• On completion of the transfer, the registration time is extended by a year.
• You are billed for the extended year right away.
• You are not billed again until your domain is about to expire and needs to be renewed.

Any domains transferred-in use subscription or commitment billing.

Example

The following examples explain how billing works for transferred-in domains.

• If the domain had one month of registration time left before transfer, you get billed for 1 year at time of transfer. The next billing event after the transfer completes is the domain's next renewal, 13 months (1 month + 1 year) after the transfer.
• If the domain had two years of registration time left before transfer, the next billing event is 3 years (2 years + 1 year) later.

Renewed domains are billed using either subscription or commitment billing.

Caution: Exporting a registered domain from Cloud Domains to Google Domains is deprecated and removed. For more information, see Cloud Domains feature deprecation.

To stop automatic renewal, see Turn off automatic renewal for a domain name. To manage a domain's billing account individually (outside of a Google Cloud project), you must transfer it out to a third-party registrar. However, once you register a domain with Cloud Domains, if you choose to transfer your domain to a third party before the 12-month period expires, you are still charged for the domain for the remainder of the 12 months. The billing frequency depends on the billing model for your resource.

For more information about renewals, see Squarespace purchase of Google Domains FAQ.

You must use Cloud Domains billing to manage the billing of domains registered with Cloud Domains.
