It also offers one-click DNS configuration that connects the domains with Blogger, Google Sites, Squarespace, Wix.com, Weebly, Bluehost, Shopify, and Firebase.[4][5] It supports domain privacy, custom nameservers, and DNSSEC.
The domain registration service is accredited by ICANN – the IANA number assigned by ICANN to Google is 895.[6]
