They are already a household name...free webspace would be a waste of resources.

Actually,

I assume that google has already looked into the issue. They might even have a concept to realize this, but I guess in the moment the concentrate on other things google earth, google talk, may later google video or google TV ;-)

I think it would be a great idead for google to offer free webspace, They could incorparate it with the gmail account allowing your gmail space to be used as hosting...

Just a thought.

Heard this idea before, but there's no rumors or news made that google plan on doing web hosting. Maybe in the future... who knows?

Gmail = 2 +GB
Webhost = 5+ GB

ahhahahah

I think it'd be a stupid idea. If they ever did, they'd either restrict FTP, file extensions, file size limits and/or various other things.

i doubt they will. i'm sure people will abuse it if they offered gigs for free. also i think the people in the hosting industry will start to hate google even if it offers paid hosting.

no they wouldnt do 5+gig

for GMail hardly anybody uses the full 2gig so they are kinda getting off lightly.
If they did it for webhosting then everybody would actually use all 5GB.

aDN THING IS, IF THEY GAVE OUT 2 OR 5 GB, THINK HOW MUCH BW WOULD BE USED?
i ALSO HEARD OF A THING WHERE YOU COULD USE YOUR GMAIL AS A STORAGE THINGY, AND HAVE IT SHOW UP AS A DRIVE?
