Just because Google offered web hosting doesn't mean it would be the only host.

They already offer web hosting (App Engine). They just need to offer a domain service now.

@nights
Google is possibly the largest internet entity in existence, if they offered real hosting, nobody would be able to compete with them.

Doesn't mean that everyone would go with him. Many companies are already well established in the field, and I doubt everyone would want to go for such a large company's hosting.

If they offered cheaper rates (which they most certainly would), they would also probably have your content split up among all the servers for optimal delivery aswell. They would be the ultimate host.

I doubt that. Unlike small companies, Google expects a higher margin of profits; and thus would charge either more, or offer fewer features.

They would be able to make it free, based on the fact they get more statistics for their ad engine ;)

Then why isn't App Engine free?

No. It is more like a minute-based plan.

You get 1 GB and 5 million page views a month?? If you want to distribute something made by a single indie game developer it's completely free. If you get big, you start making money off of it anyways. You're never actually going negative...

Google does offer domain services, they're just really obscure and hard to find. They're buried in App Engine.

Look at my join date. If you are still not convinced, then if you would bother to check my previous posts here, you would see I have had a conversation with him at some point in time.
