Google Workspace needs one MX record: smtp.google.com with priority 1. This guide puts the five DNS records Workspace uses in one table, explains the legacy ASPMX set, gives the order and waiting times that avoid lost email, and covers the ccTLDs (.de, .it, .no) whose registries check your nameservers before accepting a DNS move.

The .ai registry enables internationalized domain names (IDNs) for .ai, com.ai, net.ai, off.ai and org.ai on 19 October 2026, after a test phase for registrars from 7 October. This guide lists all 57 supported languages and scripts with their IDN tags, explains the difference between a language and a script entry, shows how IDN .ai names look in punycode, and covers what to check for browsers and email.

There is no single best domain extension - there is a best one for what you do. This guide matches ten types of business to the extensions that fit them, flags the ones that verify credentials before letting you register, and answers the three questions that decide the choice in practice.

A .cleaning domain tells people you run a cleaning business. See who it fits, what it costs, whether it helps SEO, and how to register one.

A .haus domain tells visitors your business is about homes. Does it fit real estate and home brands, what does it cost, and how to register one?

.io almost always costs more than .co, but price isn't the deciding factor. Compare both on cost, trust, and startup fit before you register.

.com is likely to reduce friction for ecommerce because it scores higher on trust and default user expectation. .co can still work well, but it carries more risk around memorability and first-time purchases.

Should you include LLC in your domain name? See how .llc compares with .com, why most brands skip LLC, and which mistakes to avoid.

.shop or .store when .com is taken? Find a good alternative domain that fits your ecommerce brand, customers, and launch plans.

.pay is a new gTLD backed by Amazon Registry for payment-focused businesses. Find out who qualifies, what it costs, and whether your brand actually needs one.
