Very interesting move here by Google. We’re pretty tempted to check this out and see what we could do with it. I would like to know what the pricing will be eventually, and what their projected timeline for the free beta program will be.

Google Apps for Your Domain lets you offer our communication and collaboration tools to your entire organization — customizable with your branding, color scheme and content through the administrative control panel, and with no hardware or software to install or maintain.

To get started, click the “Sign up now” button below and tell us about your organization. After your domain is approved, you’ll be able to access the Google Apps for Your Domain control panel. First you’ll tell us which users should have accounts with your domain (you can add, remove, suspend or delete users at any time). Next you’ll decide which services you’d like to activate (you can pick any combination of the services listed on the right, and add or remove any of them at any time). After you choose your services, we’ll help you activate them, which usually involves adjusting some of your domain settings.

That’s it — there’s no complicated hardware or software to worry about. Your users can just go online to start using these hosted services.
