Points to Domain Buying through Google Docs

If you buy a domain through Google Docs, you will get email addresses which are personalized like [email protected] instead of [email protected] and you can setup a website on Google Sites without paying for web hosting. The domain will securely and privately register. No one can see your contact details in the public WHOIS database.

There are two options in Google Apps:

1)      Free edition                :                       You have to just pay for the domain name only.

2)      Business edition         :           You have to pay for the domain and the number of users.

Sign-up for Free Edition of Google Apps

In the Google Apps homepage there is no visible link where you find free addition. To go to sign-up for free edition click the secret link. The secret link is hidden under the “Pricing” section of the Google Apps website.

Country specific Domains are Cheaper at Google Apps

Buying country-specific domains like .in, .org even .cc are cheaper through Google Apps instead of buying the same directly through the registrar. Google offers the India specific .in domain for $8/year. GoDaddy charges $17/year for the same TLD. Indian registrars charge $10 approx for .in domains.
