Google Apps

I just found that you can get Google Apps for free (standard edition) for any domain that you may own. I just set it up for my domain and I think it's pretty cool looking. You can get Gmail on your domain, some simple webpages, a google ig start page (partner page or something like that), calendar, and docs for your own domain. For the standard edition (free one) you can have like up to 100 users and each user gets 2gb of mail storage.

The really cool thing is that Google has the MX entries to set the mail up and a place to redirect all the other domain settings to. All i had to do was set up the Google Apps thing, then log into my domain administration page and enter the entries that the step by step instructions say to.

The only downside that I see at the moment is the simplicity of the webpages that you can make. I didn't really look that far into it, but as far as I saw, they are pretty basic pages. If you have a domain that isn't being really used or pointed to anything, or you just want a cheap way to get something up and have a nice mail system, Google Apps is definitely something to check into.
