Domain names powered by Gmail?

really_swell · 30 Aug 2010, 07:46 AM

I like the Gmail service. I don't like the name. I was wondering if there were any other domain names on the web that anyone here knew of that offer free e-mail, and are powered by Google?

Thank you for your time.

If you like short domain names, the only one I'm aware of currently open for public registration which still exists is the Polish service, g.pl, as discussed here:

Agora SA, Polish Gmail?

Just supply your own domain name. They support that in the form of Google Apps.

Yeah, just get a domain (<$10) and set up Google Apps Standard on it ($0). There you go, you now have a non-gmail email address for <$10 per year (just the cost of the domain).

Name.com set it up for you as well if you buy the domain with them. With one or two clicks on the mouse you then indicate you wish to use Google Apps email, and they set up everything for you. An easy solution for the lazy and the non-technical ones out there (and I admit to belong in that second group, I doubt if I'd understand the technical part of setting the MX Records etc up enough to do it by myself)

Not sure if any other registrars offer this service.

Heart Internet in the UK also have one-click settings to configure your domain to work with G Apps. Used it on a few domains I manage.

The problem with this is the same as with the email services powered by MSN (Hotmail) or Everyone.net : even when the domain name is quite different, who guarantees it will survive the hands of time? The owner of the domain could simply decide to not continue the service, and then all users of an email account with such domain are in trouble too.

The only domains hosted by Gmail Apps, MSN or Everyone.net which I'd rely on for a primary email account, are my own domains hosted there (which de facto comes down to only Google Apps, haven't tried the others yet)

Coming to think of it ... Mail.mn, which is the most widely used (or one of the only?) mail providers of Mongolia, has been using Gmail's services for quite a while already, I think for at least a year and a half, maybe more (don't dare to say for sure by heart). This service is part of a network of sites offering a lot of different services to Mongol citizens, one of the largest internet businesses in the country (for what that's worth) ... so I would assume the chance of them giving up the service is rather small too. Their website however does NOT have an English interface so while the domain is rather neat, you'll need some translation tools to use it.
