Hey

Do you think Google will ever do hosting? They would be able to with all the space and bandwidth they have, they would probably be cheap and have a lot of features too. I wonder if they'll ever conquer the hosting industry. What do people think. Possible? Impossible?

They have Gmail and Blogger. Those aren't directly related to search and blogger involves a lot of website related stuff. They could probably do the best deals if they went to hosting as well... Just a thought...

I think that if google sell webhosting, they will
make their own servers and datacenter.
If this will be a true I think that they will be a good hosting company
from one of the biggest (goddady powweb and etc.)

I think that if they sell cheap domain names, this will be their PLUS (+) !
I think that this will be a true, but I think that you must ask them, not us :=)


Thanks,

They already do a lot of dough from web search so i think they will not start a webhosting company though it was a rumor that google has becomed ICANN acredited and will start selling domains for a cheap price..

Yes this will be a good think !
They can sell cheap domain names
for the clients who are not running big sites
and do not have big budget for buying domain names
from the official hosting companys or other domain name registrers
like registerfly and etc.

Probably, but yahoo has big prices and it suffers from lack of support, maybe if google will do exactly like rumors say: nice services and small prices they will shure hit the market.

That can only talk that, They do not have
mans for doing there support and work for
their services ... I don't know, but I think that this can
be the problem ... Also is a true that the BIG registrars
who oversell the prices for hosting and domain names
earn clients who can buy the same with more quality for
the regular (normal) hosting firms in all over the world !

I think if they do it then they will most likely buy a company and build from there. If you view there past way of doing things that seems to be the trend.

Personally if i'd be Godaddy's owner i wouldn't sell it because they make a lot of money, and google doesn't really need to get involved into hosting/domain registrar biz, they already have a profitable business with web searching, but **** that is only my opinion

I see it as a distinct possibility in the coming years. They already make large profits, and I do not see why they don't try to extend that by offering hosting. They having a perfect advertising base..... Maybe it has something to do with the Competetion Commision. If I was the Google chair, I would have started hosting years ago. Google is facing fierce competetion now and in the future from MSN and Yahoo, they need a strong financial base in order to succeed in the long run.
