Google Webspace - Google Web Space

I am a fan of Google and Gmail, and I think that since Google is such a huge internet service that I figure they would just have to change with the times and would add webspace. And I could see that after a beta test of that, they would begin to increase the server size.... Why!? I think that would happen because that is how Google operates. I think that with how much exposure they have and such a huge fan and user base, that Google and Gmail would offer web designers room to play online.

I am not all opposed with having ads on my website, heck, I even make my own. It is the content and or how it is handled in the layout. I was SOOO annoyed with geocities and always having to click away the sidebar... did the creators of geocities think that EVERYONE used the new default settings!!? And I think a lot of others offer great service and have ads that had better placement.

Ok, so that turned into some kind of repressed rant there! So to summarize, I think that google should not tease, and should bring space to the net. I am a huge supporter of astahost, but it still is nice to see what the competition brings to the table.

Actually, I believe there is already a service that emcompasses Gmail's storage space to use to upload any type of file--Gmail Drive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMail_Drive

Basically, it allows people to upload files from their computer to Gmail as if Gmail were a drive on their computer. In fact, the gmail account's contents shows up as a network share. Obviously, there are still restrictions, as Gmail doesn't allow the upload of .zip or .exe files, so those cannot be uploaded with Gmail drive either.

There is, apparently, also a firefox extension that does similar things--Gspace: http://www.getgspace.com/

Granted, neither service is condoned by Google (it's probably against the user agreement--I haven't checked). It could end with your account getting banned or suspended, depending on whether or not Google finds out... If someone were to test it out, obviously they wouldn't be stupid enough to do it on their actual account. :-)

Hey google is not providing such a service yet. but they provide 4.5gb email storage for a single person so I guess it may be useful if they can allocate that space for personal web hosting. But unfortunately they havnt done...

I would like to have a Google web site, they would probably use targeted dvertising like they do with Gmail and Google searchs, but with ust small test links, thats not too bad. And as for using Gmail to store files, I know a lot of people who are doing that (some of them have 10 or more Gmail accounts) and when you fill up your 1 GB storage, Gmail sometimes upgrades your limit to 2 GB. So all those people milking Gmail for file storage are now getting even more!
