RSSGoogle to Offer Domain Registration
By the Betanews Staff | Published December 18, 2006, 9:53 AM
Google has teamed up with two Internet registrars to offer its users low-cost domain registration for the .com, .net, .org, or .info suffixes. For $10 per year, the name would be registered through either GoDaddy.com or eNom, and Google would do all the configuration work. The offering would be made part of Google Apps for Your Domain, a service introduced by the Mountain View, Calif. company in August of this year.
That service includes the e-mail service Gmail, a Web-based version of its Google Talk software, Google Calendar, and Google Page Creator, a Web site design application. All services are given away for free during the beta period. Analysts say Google's moves clearly position it be a direct competitor of Microsoft in the business software industry.
Goodbye, RegisterFly.
Your systems, processes and customer service have become to be among the very worst.

|Getting in on this "web" as you guys call it sounds like a good idea for Google.
I have never used the internet, nor will I ever. I predict it will go away in a few months.

|I think you also require to subscribe to a webhost plan in order to get Google's apps to work. At least for my case. If this Google service automatic configurate the server, that mean a hosting package is not require to get Google app to works.
I got 4 domains (2 years) from Godaddy, for a total of under $50.

|It sure seems like Google is starting to heave their hands in every and anything these days. $10 for a domain name. You can get them for $6 - $7 from Godaddy if I'm not mistaken. Plus you can apply coupon codes to get 10% off. I don't think this is great news. Just another domain name reseller.

|You know that, I know that... but google is one of the three most popular internet portals around. People visit it all the time. Yahoo's already got this server, dunno about msn... so as you can imagine, people are more likely to use Google's service over GoDaddy's due to this fact.

|Yeah, and there are domain companies doing well selling them for $15 a domain.

|One advantage of Google's services that it includes free privacy (doesn't list the admin contacts) that many companies (ie GoDaddy) charge extra for.

|A couple years ago wasn't the story that they were going to be selling Google PC's? Forgive me if such a thing already exists and I am unaware.

|Why are Google PERSISTING with this freak expansion of their services? Now they can give you domain names, and soon they'll have their own OS!

|Because their going to end up like Microsoft. Hated and untrusted by half the internet.
I don't mind if Google and Yahoo want to be portals... but when they start acting like Microsoft, then it's time to be weary.

|That's a spurious claim, backed up by no evidence, which I'm tired of hearing.
How could (the)Google be worse than Microsoft? This activity that you revile so much is called "Free Enterprise", nobody is forcing you to participate in it.

|You don't have to be a billion dollar company to act like MS.
Such ignorant slander.

|It's called a monopoly and upsets the balance.
Personally, I want to see Microsoft, Google and others fall. But I won't bore you with reasons why.
Yes, I hate them. Cause their dominating the market and upsetting the balance. (Not to mention, Google's Gtalk and GMail REALLY needs some work)
