Well Google Apps for your Domain is now simply Google Apps and is also now a paid service. The small business service is not a bad price in my opinion at $50 per year/per user for 10gb of space with 99.9% uptime and also 24/7 support.

It is also very nice to say the they still have 2 free editions, one for schools that includes the 24/7 support and another for families and groups. The family and group edition will have all the features that were currently available. This is really good news because now I will not have to switch my robertnelson.com domain back to its regular mail service. I had been using Google Apps with it for a while. Even though I did like the service I was not ready to pay for it, it gets very little traffic and simply would not be worth the money for me.

Well Google has a paid service. Looks like the next will be expanded email storage for Gmail. One could only hope then we can stop hearing so many “important” people bitch over and over about lack of room in Gmail. I am glad to be unimportant, I never even come close to my limit for Gmail.

Either way great services and great news from Google. Check it out here and sign up if you have a domain to use.
