Google Starting a Web-Hosting Service?

    Google's much-rumored online storage service should be available in a few months, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal late on Monday that cites unnamed sources.

    The service would allow people to store any kind of data on Google servers and access it from any computer with an Internet connection. An unspecified amount of storage would be offered for free with additional amounts available for a fee, the report said.

    Google one step closer to world domination.

    Seems logical for google to increase in presence in all areas of the web.

    They are stepping on a lot of toes and wearing too many hats.

    Between Microsoft and Google, I would say that Google affects my life more than Microsoft nowadays.

    unfortunately its just specualtion. Neither you provided a link to wall street journal story here or not on your blog.

    Without a prominent source, rumours are not even called rumours, they are just fake stories. I dont trust made up news, sorry

    It may still be speculation, but the Wall Street Journal article is real.

    I doubt it will be a web hosting service, it will be more on the lines of file storage\sharing.

    I think it will be file hosting/storage service, which will be called GDrive.

    I think you are confused between web hosting and file hosting
    Google is planning to begin "Gdrive" which will act as online hard disc for you.

    Google is the leader of the pack and working to stay there, evolve or perish.
