Community Evolved Hosting - Google Apps
Posted on May 19th, 2008
I know that some of you use Google Apps for either personal or business use.
This gave me an idea! With each new customer we could create an automatic sub domain to point to their own Google Apps. I found out you can create an API to generate an account for Google Apps as long as you are a Google Apps Small Business Solution Provider.
For current customers we will setup a Customer Resource Center form to request the setup if we decided to move forward.
Last week we were accepted as a Google Apps Small Business Solution Provider.
Time to hear your opinion on the direction.
Should we create an API to add Google accounts for new users and have a standard sub domain to point to it? If so, what sub domain would you use?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It’d be better to have something that asks the customer on signup, rather than doing to automatically.
You may also want to find a way to remove the “Mail” stuff from cPanel for customers who choose to use Google Apps, for obvious reasons.
It’s difficult to answer the question as I don’t even know what the Google Apps are, or what they can do for me. A little explanation included in the post might have been useful.
As far as the URL goes, I’d definitely go with something that does NOT include “Google” in the name. They get enough advertising as it is…
Personally, I find “gapi” (for “Google API”) to be quite catchy.
