Google Apps Premier Edition now available
Google’s suite of Office applications, Google Apps for Your Domain is now available in two flavors: free and premier. The second one includes 24/7 support, 99.9% uptime guarantee for email, 10GB of storage per account, an option to turn off the contextual ads alongside email, and support for 3rd party applications and services. For a full list of differences between the two, check out Google’s comparison. The price? $50 per user per year.
Paradoxical as it may seem, the thing I like best about this new product is that it’s not free. The fact that Google is charging for one of its online products should pave the way for other web startups who are struggling simply because they’re afraid to charge for their service. With many online services going down the drain recently, users will come to realize that paying a small sum of money might be better than to use a free service that might disappear every day.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard!?!?!?!?!?
There are plenty of other fish in the sea when it comes to jut about anything, and as soon as I find out that a service is going to start charging even a nominal fee, I head for the greener pasture of the search engine to find an alternative. Unless the service offered is SO GREAT that I truly can’t live without it, and quite frankly I haven’t found one just yet, I ain’t paying. Google has a LONG way to go before I’ll start paying for their ‘mashed up’ hurrily-released-and-patched-later-20%-google-employee-free-time-development services!

I have to agree with Matt. Why would you pay for something when there are so many free alternatives? Contextual advertising has changed the way for anything paid.
February 23rd, 2007 at 10:16 am
Overreact much Matt? First of all, the services they already offer are going to _remain_ free, however, you can now get better service if you want to pay for it. I don’t see a problem with that? Secondly, you should let me know where you’ve found an online email service as good as gmail, that also offers online word processing, spreadsheets, and api’s to plug into all the services. Oh that’s right, you can’t because they don’t exist.

@Matt: that’s because your work don’t depend on this services. If switching from one service to another were affecting your ability to work well and earn money, you’d think twice about paying a reasonable fee to keep the service you’re already using alive.
I’m not saying your point of view is wrong, but you need to understand that there are home users and there are business users.

Awesome info! I was honestly just thinking about something similar to this the other day so, it was almost “weird” when I ran across this. You would be surprised how many people simply have no idea when it comes to this kind of stuff. Anyway, thanks for getting this info out there and I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciates you taking the time to post this for the masses.
