“Now, businesses that wish to sign up for Google Apps but don’t yet have a domain name have plenty of local options to choose from during sign-up. Your new domain comes configured with all Google Apps services, including Gmail for your custom email addresses (@yourcompany.com). Your domain will be registered with domaindiscount24.com,” he added.
The TLDs will be available as follows; globally-.com, .info, .org, .net, .mobi, .biz, .name, .cc, .tv while in Asia-Pacific .in, .co .in, .org .in, .net.in, .co.nz, .com.tw, .jp while in Latin America .co, .com.co, .com.mx, .mx.
