Just as an aside, the startup I work at provides these services with Google Apps included. We handle automatic domain registration, DNS setup, automate the process of verifying your Google Apps account, allow Single Sign-On to GMail, and more. I'm guessing the tech crowd would particularly find the automated google verification interesting. The other best part is we match the pricing of a Google Apps for Business account and offer a 15 day free trial with no credit card required. We partner with the likes of Startup Weekend and .CO since our goal is to help you get your ideas online fast. For those of you interested in checking it out, I'd love feedback: https://pop.co https://pop.co

Is reselling Google Apps allowed by their terms of service?

  They have a whole reseller program https://www.google.com/intx/en/enterprise/apps/business/landing/partners/resellers/program-details.html https://www.google.com/intx/en/enterprise/apps/business/land...

  Google Apps for Business offers a Reseller program complete with APIs.

Looks pretty nice. I'm still startled at how lousy the options are for new (smaller) businesses wanting to get online (ie, Wix and Weebly). Google Apps is now $50/year?

  You're correct on the pricing. For a single seat license with Google Apps, you'll spend $5/mo or $50/yr depending on your payment plan. We offer the same pricing model which includes the domain, an email address, DNS, a Starter Page, and our simplified interface.

  I agree with your point on lousy options for small businesses. See my other comment in this thread. The SMB website market is ripe for disruption.

    I'd absolutely love to hear your feedback on how we (Weebly) can get better! We are constantly improving the product, but there's still a long ways to go.

      Shoot me an email at coreyATcoreyballou.com as we're interested in a feature of your API that doesn't appear to be publicly available but I'm sure you have in place.

It looks like you registered your own domain with GoDaddy and use NeuStar for DNS. I also can't find you guys listed on the ICANN accredited registrar list. Not really providing "these services." Just a web hosting shop with some automation and reseller agreements. Sorry.

  We are by no means aiming to be a web hosting shop; it's not in our trajectory at all. Our Starter Page is solely a means to provide users something quick and easy to setup that's not overly confusing. For many, it's an interim page while they setup their own custom site. In regards to accredited registrars, there's plenty of low hanging fruit out there and building out a registrar was not in our sites for our initial launch. I can comment that EPP is in scope and we're doing some really cool shit behind the scenes in upcoming releases that would satiate your qualms in the future. I can't really comment on all fronts; but stay tuned!
