    Google becomes ICANN Approved Domain Registrar

    With Google now a registrar, what kind of impact will this have on the many domain registration companies? It could be interesting as most of them are *customers* of Google.

    Google email, Google hosting, Google domains, Google Adwords, Froogle for product placement - sounds like a nice small business solution.

        im confident below $10/domain.


        They'll either go for profit or just for expanding, either way they have a big client list they would trust them. I can seem them going for profit and not hiting the competition that hard for the moment.

          "Last week, Internet overseeing organisation ICANN and technical arm IANA, quietly approved Google's application and gave it ID number 895. It is now entitled to sell any .biz, .com, .info, .name, .net, .org and .pro domains (but not .aero, .coop, or .museum). Interestingly though, a Google spokeswoman told us it has no plans to sell any at the moment.

          The reason it paid a $2,500 application fee and $6,500 to cover six top-level domains is that it "wants to get a better understanding of the domain name system [and so] increase the quality of our search results".

                                but google will know these domains are yours and will consider them to 1 big linkfarm, even if you got different class c IP's

                                  It seems the more energy they use to expand their business the wore their serps become.
