Google Apps for your Domain – 8 domain limit
I’ve been a Google Apps for your Domain user/administrator since they first launched the service with just e-mail hosting. It wasn’t until recently that I noticed they offered more services than just e-mail hosting:
- Calendars
- Chat
- Customized Start Page
- Domain Web Pages
I realized that calendars and chat were basically available, what I didn’t realize was that you could toggle them on/off. I also realized that there wasn’t a waiting list for signing up new domain names any more (though the service is still in “beta”), too. I proceeded to setup google apps for 7 other domain names, making a total of 8 domains that I use Google apps for. After trying to add a 9th domain, I got this message:
Thanks for your interest in Google Apps for Your Domain. Unfortunately, we are not able to invite your domain
Sincerely,
The Google Team
Bummer! But, I can’t complain. I’ll take free e-mail hosting for 8 domains. This also means I can clear off all of the e-mail accounts on our mail server which makes one less thing to setup when we switch ISPs. What I also like is the ability to host web pages on a domain name with Google, meaning I can eliminate all of the one-page domains that we host, as well. Can’t wait to see what’s next with the service — hopefully full integration with Picasa, Gmail mobile, and other Google applications/utilities.
