Google has entered into the domain registration game via a partnership with eNom and GoDaddy, wherein Google is only offering the registration of .com, .net, .biz and .info domain extensions.
$10 a year is a bit more expensive than some of the other registrars on the market (by a dollar or so) and I find it interesting that Google is not going to be offering .org domains through these partnerships.
Perhaps the effort is one to set up a small business following, similar to Yahoo Small Business, with partnered domain registration, hosting, page building, blogging and directory listings programs.
Interestingly enough, a search for “domains” on Google results with Yahoo Small Business Domains as the #1 organic listing.
Google more or less has all of the offerings under their umbrella, and the domain registration should further benefit the spread and use of Google Webmaster Central.
And if the owners of the domains do not launch a site immediately, Google should also benefit from domain parking and the serving of their AdWords ads on unused yet registered domains.
The Associated Press adds : “Web sites that register their domains through Google will be automatically set up to work with several other company products, including e-mail, calendaring and instant messaging.”

i think it needs to support mail.yourdomain.com
now they only provide the mail.yourdomain.com but they refer to mail.google.com/a/yourdomain.com
in our country, the google mail n google talk is banned so if it refers to gmail, we can’t use that mail. i think it needs to support for this.

Warning !! Domain Registration can ruin your life on Feb 20, 2008 at 11:22 am
Well its been long time but They still haven’t came up with the so called domain venture with enom and G.daddy, and i wonder whose gonnna pay $10 for a domain name hmmmm, But something i would like to point out is that, anyone who’s willing to register new domain name should take a privacy protection cover alone with the domain name, so that they can sleep in peace without having to worry abt anything nasty that is involved with domain name registration

Google includes private domain registration at no extra charge. I’m not familiar with eNom’s pricing, but Godaddy charges an extra $9 for this ($7 the first year).

Having a good domain name, without a good web hosting is not a good practice. I’m not sure whether web hosting service is included in the package or not.
