Last year we launched the capability for organizations to get a domain name and set up Google Apps from our website. Now we're proud to announce more options for streamlining set up. We've launched a new program that allows organizations to sign up and be automatically configured for Google Apps directly from a favorite registrar or web hosting company. We're working with partners who automatically provision businesses for Google Apps. For these customers, we're taking set up off the plate - replacing manual domain and DNS configuration - so that they can focus on running their business. For our partners, we provide a provisioning API and co-branded experience to attract new customers, as well as financial incentives to generate a new revenue stream. Check out two newly-launched partner sites, www.Name.com and www.DomainSite.com, who are helping their new SMB customers get up and running faster. If you are a domain registrar, web host, or other type of professional services provider to small businesses and would like more information please contact us.
