Google's domain name service is now available to all residents of the United States.The tech giant announced on its company blog that Google Domains is no longer an invitation-only service, but is still limited to U.S. residents only.

Small companies can now choose and purchase from a variety of domains suited to their businesses, including .org, .biz and .com. For each domain acquired, it comes with a braded email ad, website building and management tools and other features, PC Mag reported.

Google is planning to roll out its domain service globally. Users can sign up so that they will be notified if the service is available in the area. 

There are other additions to the Google Domain service, including enhanced searches to find the appropriate domain name for a business. Another addition is Google's more than 60 new domain endings such as .academy, .builders, .dance, .tips, and many more. Some cost as low as $12, while some reach up to $50. The .haus domain ending costs $110.

Blogger is now integrated with the domain service for easier blog creation.

Having collaborated with third party website builders Weebly, Wix, Shopify and Squarespace, Google is also boasting its Dynamic DNS feature for websites. It keeps the website pointed to one computer even if the IP address constantly changes.

All domain names are viable for renewal annually for the same price. Once a customer purchases a domain name, he/she can choose to build a website using Google's partner website builders or choose to upload their own.
