You already shouldn't be using GoDaddy, so there's another reason

What's a better one? I've been using Google Domains, I don't really have a reason to complain about them, but I've always wondered whether parking everything with a big corporation like that will have its drawbacks one day.

I got angered by the domains part of Google Workspace (technically it's not the same as the Google Domains team), as they "lost" my access to the root domain name that I was using for a Google Workspace account that I deleted later:

- there was no way to move the "root" domain name away from Google Workspace while the account was still in service,

- after deleting the account, any access was definitely lost (I spent a lot of time on the phone with them, but they provided no help),

- the lost domain name was never "released", it remained officially under my ownership until the very last day of its registration period, even though I had no way to act on it.

- when I called that out a bug, they firmly replied that no there was no bug...

So, the lesson is: never use a domain name important for your business as the root domain name of a Google Workspace account, unless you really are sure that you will never need to move it to another registrar nor to delete the account.

A clients domain that was purchased through Google Workspace was actually a white labelled Godaddy.
