dgolding, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30Google is a domain registrar, so why partner?
- koregaonpark, on 10/12/2007, -17/+4Are they? I never knew that. Anyway, I think GoDaddy can afford to give better deals while still making a profit, they've been doing this for a while now.
- wingnut21, on 10/12/2007, -3/+57$10 for including hiding of private registration is a good deal.
- detroitsux, on 10/12/2007, -7/+27You may be hiding your registration information from whois, but not from google.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -15/+1About the private registration: GoDaddy.com owns the privateer that they offer on their website - then again, that didn't really surprise me, but it is encrypted at 1024, so even godaddy employees would have a time actually reading it.
- farfromsubtl, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7I wonder how long it will take for poeple to start posting their Dreamhost discount codes...
- shit, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9It's $14.95 for a .com domain name with private registration from GoDaddy, if anyone is wondering. A $5 savings is pretty rad.
- 1021, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16@battybatty
  Dude, you have it wrong about the encryption. HTTPS encryption is a point-to-point system. When at either end, the server or the sender, the information is in the clear to the two involved parties. You really need to take a class in applied cryptography.
- deanlowe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11You have to be hosted by Google and Page Creator is very limiting. It's just like MS Office Live.
- HMTKSteve, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3This should be under tech deals
- timxpx, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3$10 for private registration really isn't a good deal. shop around a little bit, there's a lot that's better.
- Cglass, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13@timxpx, $10 for the domain WITH private information, show me a better deal, please.
  
  Pretty please?
- steamedlice, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I use 1and1.com. They are significantly cheaper than GoDaddy. I've saved hundreds of dollars a year by transferrring to them. GoDaddy has nicer domain management controls, but 1and1 includes free private registration. I'm sure there are other cheap registrars, but so far, I like them.
- timxpx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4@cglass
  
  i got a domain + hosting + php / mysql support + a bunch of other stuff from netfirms for $10 for the year. (google around for the coupon / deal...)
  
  with private registration.
  
  even if the hosting is bad (though it's actually reliable for what i use it for), it's still storage space. and i still get the domain anyway.
- techgnostic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Cglass, I'm usually not in the business of posting links to places you can buy stuff, but namecheap.com has .com domains WITH whois protection for $9. Not that much of a price difference, but if you've been paying $15.00 or so for domains then you've been paying too much. Namecheap's interface for managing domains is better than most too.
- timxpx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@techgnostic
  
  thanks for reinforcing - it doesn't hurt to shop around, even if the google/godaddy reg is what you end up with. deal forums / sites are your friends here.
- keesj, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1www.retailmenot.com for coupons ;)
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Google is was NOT a reg UNTIL they partnered with godaddy as the parent controller.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1 1021@
  
  Huh? Do you know what an encrypted connection is or what it means?
  It means it's encrypted all the way down the line - why would banks use it if it were not.
  
  The info is NOT readable at the godaddy side , that is made clear in their agreement. And it is true. Point-to-point has no bearing on encryption nor decryption. Once you hit Send, the info stays encrypted unless you recall it back to your view.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1And 1021@,
  
  To be fair, I am decribing S-HTTP not https which is a little different.
  
  Using the cert-return method is HOW godaddy is able to NOT let their employees see selected info on the account holder's name info, and garantees to godaddy.com that YOU are the rightful person of which the info belongs on YOUR account.
  
  This is the actual system that most banks use now, rather than https.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11021@
  
  Also, Point to point is PPP or PPoE or PPTP and have little to do with http or https or ssl used in other ways in its operation - other than they are all protocols.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1 pw378 52 minutes ago
  
  So these are sub-domains then and not subwebs. There is no security between sub-domains. There never was and there won't be UNTIL godaddy starts implementing IIS7 for their Windows servers or Enterprise 2 for their Linux servers
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1 by ChrisGrrr 53 minutes ago
  
  Not only is your repsonse to this old (as in 53 minutes) but the story you have linked to (I am NOT trolling here) is from June. goddady also DID NOT rescind the .ru sites.
  
  RESOLVED You should, no doubt, find the arppropriate link from whence it came..
- fatdog789, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not only that, but why partner with two of the worst registrars in the business?
  
  GoDaddy and eNom are reknowned for the ***** they pull on their customers. Even worse, eNom is the spammer's registrar of choice.
  
  Of course, this does make sense, since the majority of the spam domains use AdWords to generate money...
- Elranzer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Google good, but GoDaddy bad. I don't buy it.
  
  What Google needs is a free DNS service a la ZoneEdit to go with their Google Apps for Domains.
- rickjames47, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You can get domain name registration with private information from 1 and 1 for $5.99.
  Their hosting and customer support is actually surprisingly good too.
  I'm surprised not more people use them, to be honest.
  http://order.1and1.com
t0ny, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11I get mine for $5 something from 1 and 1.
- Tialys, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3I use the same service, and they will hide your info for no extra cost. You'd think google would have given deep discounts to try to bring in people to their Tools for Your Domain.
- spacyt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+281& 1 is a piece of garbage. After deciding to cancel my hosting with them they
  sent my information to a credit company saying I owe them 29.98 for services after I canceled and I have their confirmation cancellation email.
  
  Now the credit company is saying I owe a mysterious extra 40 bucks and they have no clue what is going on.
  
  I just emailed 1&1 about this and now that I “googled” issues with 1&1 cancelation issues I’m now aware that I’m going to be getting no where fast. My credit is going to be ruined over this crap.
  
  Good luck if you ever want to take your services elsewhere with 1 & 1.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8spaceyt - obviously you have not written the credit orgs informing themn that the charges are in dispute. You must do this for any American owned company.
  
  Period.
- PabloMac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I bought a domain name from 1and1 almost a year ago, then another about two months ago. The payment on the second registration got delayed, so they turned off my previous domain until I resent my $. I won't buy another domain from 1and1.
Bara, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7cheapdomains.com ftw. Although Google offering domain registration is an enticing offer, just because it's Google.
mklopez, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Domain registration is not the primary goal of Goggle. They just want to provide a simpler way for users to sign up for "Google Apps for Your Domain". You need your own domain for that, so why not just get it from them?
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Becuase, although Google is a registrar, they are an Aggregator, thus you o NOT own the name - Google owns it.
  
  With Godaddy, YOU own the domain.
- mrfoos, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6This is a huge point. As you add content to your website over time your search engine presence will increase. This increases the value of your domain. Domains with higher presence in search engines are worth more. More potential traffic means more potential ad revenue.
  
  If you don't own the domain, you can lose it at any time. Why would you drive up the value of an asset which you don't own. It's would be like investing in someone else's 401K. Google's 401K. I think Google has enough money and assets. No thank you.
- atomicflare, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Is this true? You won't own the domain if you register through google?
- deanlowe, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5You don't "own" the domain with ANY registrar, you rent it. That's why you have to keep paying every year.
- Nadcock, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4digg down
- atomicflare, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So what is the difference spoken of above? (about Google being an aggregator)
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6deanlowe: You DO OWN the name as long as you keep up payments through the non-agregator channels, one such as godaddy.com. This term is what ICANN calls it, they call it OWNERSHIP. You retain all rights to use the domain "as yours" for all legal and practicle purposes. Period.
  
  And, to add to this: ICANN members are seriously discussing the idea of Lifetime Ownership for personal and business-owned domains (some domains would, naturally nolot be appropriately considered "lifetime"). Of course, we're probably talking about at least 500.00 USD for personal and at least 1500.oo USD for business lifetime, but the idea IS being discussed.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And you don't have to pay every year, obviously, You need to think of domain ownership more like renting an apartment vs. paying mortgage: In an apartment one does not usually pay for a whole year or multiple years in advance, whereas with a house (or even a long business lease) you technically own the house, but you don't legally own the property until the mortgae is paid through.
  
  But the best example is often the simple truth: ICANN says that aggregators rent the domain out, non-agregators agree that you - the leasee - owns the domain.
- deanlowe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Stop paying for your domain then tell me you still "own" the name.
- ChrisGrrr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"With Godaddy, YOU own the domain."
  
  ...unless the wrong third-party blacklist includes it: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/06/17/1319233
- karch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1deanlowe, owning a domain means the registrar can't seize it at any random moment, or when your site starts doing well.
theBrink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3private registrations are not typically cheap, network solutions wanted like an extra 20$ I think, godaddy has always charged extra (yea, 7$ domains aren't private, whowouldathought....)
- suckrpnch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Network solutions still charges $35 for a domain, so you can't expect much.
  
  And I think their private is only $9 ontop of the $35 .com price now.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yeah, but private is not owning (you probably know this already) AND Network Solutions LOST their non-ag status. NS is an AGGREGATOR.
  
  The better way to show you ownership vs. non-wonership is this: If you OWN it, YOU can change all of the Billing, Technical, and Admin information YOURSELF. If you do NOT own it, you will NOT be able to change the Technical contact EVER and your ISP MAY not allow you to change other info without some proof, especially when you want to change the Admin contact info.
  
  That is pretty much it.
ryware, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1GoDaddy seems like a company Google might buy, although I can't imagine Bob Parsons working for Google.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -14/+2Uh, godaddy.com is FAR more lucrative than Google.
- deanlowe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I really doubt GoDaddy is making a billion dollars(net profit) a year.
  http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=GOOG&annual
- Onestone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hmm, I've had very bad experiences with GoDaddy. I wouldn't buy them if I were Google.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Uh, godaddy.com is FAR more lucrative than Google. I don't see how you can compare a publicly traded company to a private one plus Parsons' own millions.
  
  Unless I missed it, isn't godaddy.com owned by Parsons and isn't it still a privately held company?
- deanlowe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What does being private or public have to do with a company's profitability?
  
  http://www.bobparsons.com/WhyIPOPulled.html
  "We just finished our best quarter – ever!
  This decision comes after the best quarter in the company’s history. During the 2nd quarter The Go Daddy Group Inc. had GAAP revenue of $56,985,000, a net accounting loss of $733,000 and positive cash flow from operations of $14,240,000."
  
  That's almost a billion dollars, right battybatty?
bunni, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3$10 including private registration? I'm switching from Yahoo!.
- suckrpnch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Switch from Yahoo! anyway. their hosting sucks!
- Kamino, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Cheap is relative... Namecheap (eNom) has it for $2.88 and Registerfly (eNom) has it for free.
adamkhel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I've tried putzing around with "Google Apps for your Domain", and honestly it just isn't that great. For example, I can use Gmail for mail.mydomain.com, but now I don't have any IMAP capabilities? The other apps (homepage, etc.) are very very basic. Plus, who do I call when there is some problem and all of a sudden my domains webpage doesn't come up or my email isn't coming through? Am I gonna be able to call Google?

No doubt, it's not bad for free, but there is a definite switching cost when a person moves their domain services to Google and then realizes that it doesn't really offer that much.

-A
- teddyrux, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2If I'm already using Godaddy, do I now get hooked into this Google deal? Or can I opt in to get free private registration?
chaos421, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1what better way to be able to search websites, if they are hosted locally? i'm sure google would love to have a huge share of webhosting.
NikoKun, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3meh, i'm happy with my free No-Ip domains... XD
skyshock21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I got booted off of Digg because I posted the registrant info. of someone's website here from whois.opensrs It was pertinent info. because someone was calling into question the legitimacy of the website that the news item was about. But apparently it violated the Digg TOS. It was kind of a misunderstanding and they allowed my account to be reinstated.

As far as I know, that stuff is public information right? Anyhow, maybe more people registering websites will opt for the private option, and let this serve as a head's up to people here that the admins don't like it when you post stuff like that.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yes. ANY information regarding domain ownership is PUBLIC informatiom.
  No one at digg should be concerned with you hading relased such info on digg. THere is NO indication on the digg site anywhere spelling out any thing of the kind. Where, specifiaclly is this violation pmentioned in the digg service agreement?
spacyt, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Lunar pages has a free domain for life if you host with them. Whether you want a new domain name or want to transfer your domain from another registrar to them, it will be free for as long as you host with Lunarpages. I have been very happy with them as a hosting company...

http://www.lunarpages.com/index.php
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ICANN's talk of domain lifetime ownership would stand to mean you can go between as many ISPs at will as you desire. All you wouldbe doing is changing the pointers - just as with godaddy.com. I do not use godaddy.com as my ISP - I would'nt, as their servers are not as secure as where I am now. Google's servers on the other hand, that may be another story however (regarding security of domains and hosted pages).
Jammerdelray, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Godaddy.com says 8.95 a year!
- pw378, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1But for $8.95 a year you don't get free web hosting, free jabber federation, free calendar, free gmail, free photo hosting, free... free... free.. oh wait, except for the $10 registration.
  
  But... If you already have a domain you can just point your CNAME and MX records to Google and get all these services for... $free!
  
  Use whatever DNS registration you want, but damn dude, free gmail for you domain? That alone is gold. http://www.google.com/a/
suckrpnch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3$5.99 through 1and1 with private, so this is not some spectacular new deal.

however they can be a little slow on transfers, but generally that is fine, I just don't use it for big clients.
goodidea, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0$14 domains from disccountdomainregistry include privacy. When I last checked, Godaddy wanted extra $$ for privacy. I stayed put.
zbeast, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3GoDaddy does not let you register P2P related domains and they will steal the
name from you. http://www.slyck.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18202
***** GoDaddy.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1But it is resolved, so why ***** them? That makes no sense at all.
  
  btw, The Supreme court has stated (and it is still law), that EVERYONE is covered against any legal claims arising from merely LINKING to sites that hold copyright-infringed material. Merely linking to a sight is 1. NOT ilegal in ANY way, no matter WHO owns the copyright. IOW, this law also covers you from linking to COPYRIGHTED non-infringing material.
kiensoy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2GoogleDaddy.com?
- deanlowe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9No, GooDaddy.com
AhmedB, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Ok a little conspiracy theory here, but it's becoming VERY clear that pretty much everything that Google's developing is a Trojan horse that someday with the flip of a switch will kick all of MS's product off the enterprise desktops, Gmail, private domain, search your own doman, Google apps, google calendar, desktop editing, what else does enterprise desktop need?
tekguy82, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1GoDaddy gives you a lot for a buck
rationalist, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3GoDaddy have a reputation for poor service, they limit your options and they have a terrible administrative UI.

I recommend namecheap.com as a registrar - $8.88/yr, including WhoisGuard which anonymizes all your contact info, plus a full array of services thrown in - great admin interface and spectacular customer service - I manage 22 domains registered with them.

Whatever you do, you should NEVER register and host a domain with the same provider. NEVER. Keep the two services separate, so you can change hosts when needed without hassles from the registrar. It's just common sense and good business sense.

I have no financial or business ties to namecheap.com, and do not benefit in any way from the recommendation - just a satisfied customer. NameCheap FTW.
- sman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Are you referring to the v4.0 Domain Control Center UI at GoDaddy? I haven't used it too much since they implemented it, but it seems to be a huge improvement over the previous version. Godaddy's service does leave a lot to be desired.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Good point made best - that is basically what I was getting at.
sharjeelsayed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2AOL ( https://domains.aol.com ) and Microsoft ( http://ideas.live.com/programPage.aspx?versionId=27e3516e-ba5e-4e7c-b601-056c69f85cad ) are providing domains for free.How does that make the Google offer better?
- r0tt3n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Because they charge a monthly fee for hosting, whereas google does not. For example, Microsoft charges $5/month, meaning the net cost of the hosting plus the domain is $60/year, whereas the similar service being offered by google is $10/year.
  
  Regardless, I'm still disappointed that their domain registration is not $5/year to be competitive with 1&1. There are obvious reasons that using google's domain registration services could make life much easier for the uninitiated if their plan is to use this domain with google's gmail and page creator for your domain services, since presumably the MX and DNS settings will be done for them automatically. However, this is not a particularily difficult task for those in the IT field, and thus, there is no real motivation to use Google as a domain registrar for this group. Thus, if Google doesn't become more price-competitive with 1&1 and cut their registration price in half, I don't think their service will see widespread use by the IT community. Keep in mind that it is often the IT Community that does a large degree of the word-of-mouth advertising necessary to make a service like this a success by recommending it to their friends and collegues. Thus, losing the vote and/or interest of the IT community often translates into a serious loss of viral marketing and thus success of the project on a large scale. I believe this observation warrants further consideration by Google.
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1But the SIZE of the site space and data tranfer rates THROUGHPUT is what you need to caompare this all to. Can you run servers, can you do P2P, can you do subdomains, can you have sub webs?
gmcintire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Try actually linking to TFA instead of some blog that's now down:
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/061215/google_domains.html?.v=2
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This link is not showing what the other link shows. The site may just have been dugg too much. Perhaps a mirror is in order.
copernic, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0It's probably worth the extra $5/year to go with Network Solutions.
maximux1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1CrucialWebHosting.com sells domains for $5.99/yr, no nameshield, though. Hella lot better terms, er lack there of.
anonynous2_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1About time.
pw378, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I have several domains that I use with GoogleHosting. You can use this service even if you DON'T register your domain with Google by signing up and setting up CNAMEs and MX records at your current DNS provider. For example: ww.mydomain.com CNAME -> ghs.google.com (to map your WWW to your Googlepages site.) Likewise, sign up for hosted gmail and add MX records pointing to Google. When you sign up (no domain registration required) there are helpful walk-throughs to set this up: http://www.google.com/a/

Why do I love Googlehosting?
1. Gmail for your domain! All the users of my domain get username@mydomain accounts with the awesome Gmail interface. As admin, I can add or delete mail accounts for my domain. You can even setup shared contact lists between your users!
2. Calendar for all your gmail users. Yes, you can calendar share
3. Jabber! I can setup jabber for my domain and federate with GoogleTalk.
4. GooglePages - The interface is good, but not great. Until new features arrive, you can 'edit html' on the generated content and add your own CSS to tweak background and other elements, as well as pasting HTML directly. Also, you can setup I believe 5 different 'websites' per domain you register, with tons of pages on each.
5. Picasaweb - dump your random photos on Picasa, then link to them on your Googlepages.
- sav2880, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1pw378: Right ... but do you still have to wait for them to approve your using it since it's beta, and how long has it taken you for this?
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15 web sites on one domain. OK, are these subwebs or do they have thier own domain or are they MERELY sub-domains:
  
  Like http://mymaindomain.com
  then http://my2nddomain.org
  
  OR
  
  Like http://mymaindomain.com
  then http://my2nd.mymaindomain.org
  then http://my3rd.mymaindomain.net
  
  and so on?
- pw378, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I got my domains (several) approved almost immediately. I have others who have waited a few days. If you domainname includes viagra, mortgage or amateur I would guess the approval process might take longer.. :) :)
- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1no IMAP folders yet?
- pw378, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1>OK, are these subwebs or do they have thier own domain
  >or are they MERELY sub-domains:
  
  Depends on what you setup battybatt. The actual URL for a given 'GooglePage' looks like this:
  http://www.MYMAINDOMAIN.com-a.googlepages.com/
  
  You can only have 1 'www' for MYMAINDOMAIN, but you can setup my3rd.MYMAINDOMAIN.com to point to a second page you create under the same GoogleHosting account for MYMAINDOMAIN.
sav2880, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ok, how about a question about the semantics of this ... I have a GoDaddy domain, I want to use it with the "apps for your domain" ... I see where you can go to GoDaddy and change around all the info, but do you have to still get "accepted" for their beta of the service?

And if you buy their $10 a year domain, is this approval process magically washed away and you just have it?
battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1accepted to who?

Who's beta?

And are you referring to Google's 10$ per year domain?
xxdesmus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1$10 per year is not cheap. I pay $6 right now from 1and1.com
battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now I see where my confusion is.

Insce I already HAVE a godaddy.com reg'd domain, I can use the Tools for Google very easily (in the godday admin panel is basically a switch that does anything you tell it to for Google Tools add-in)

It's actually a little MORE time-consuming if you go through Google instead of already having a domain through godaddy! BUT, either way, at least neither Google NOR godaddy NOR eNom will own your domain name - I satnd corrected. When you reg your name GOOGLE, they will own it, but if you reg with Go daddy (you have your choice here) then CHECK the box for Tools for Google, you better off AND own your domain.

ICANN sets the regs and the regs say YOU oen it when you purchase it at a non-ag registrar. You're better off arguing with ICANN than me at this point.
Chris24, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Wow! Google sells domains via GoDaddy! $10 / year is pretty good!
Private Registration is important.

Although, 1and1 is good for regestering domains:

5.99 / year including no setup fee, PRIVATE REGISTRATION Available @ no extra charge!

mjh2901, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1These tools are great. I am moving a couple of domains over. Google lets you pick and choose services. So for say a family website, I can give everyone in the family a gmail account in the domain but host the domains web page somewhere else of my choosing. Everyone gets the email No hassles for me.

For a school it means the school can host its website with web apps where it please and give the staff gmail accounts and calendars on the domain. I don't know about other organizations but, this removes all liability and IT requirements off of the school as far as the mail server is involved.

If google ties in an ability for users to create there own homepages on the domain and adds storage space in picassa albums on those accounts then they've got a complete solutions for teachers wanting simple class websites and so fourth. This is a good start with very powerful possibilities.

DeltaX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Too bad Google chose GoDaddy. Bob Parsons is a domain squatter. GoDaddy's history of bad service, unethical business practices, and spamming, adds up to a stink that Google should avoid.
