Does google host content for us or something like that ?

    I am really puzzled. When I checked this website www(dot)priceindia(dot)in the page source said everything been hosted from something called googleusercontent.com/gadgets and masked by proxy something. So it really interested me and the next thing I did was trying to find out the server stats using whois.domaintools.com which pointed the IP location to New York - New York - Google Inc ... Now I am much more puzzled regarding what is this and how it works ? Can someone care to explain ?

    Mods: Sorry if I posted something irrelevant, kindly removed it if I did so or move to approx section if i again made a mistake there.

    Google has a number of gadgets that can be included on a web page - that link looks like it could be related to that. http://www.google.com/ig/directory?synd=open So if browsing there you find a gadget like the frogger game that you want to include on your site you can paste a code into your page and the frogger game is hosted at google, but displays on your site.

    As for hosting your entire page on google - you could take a look at http://sites.google.com

    Hope that helps,

    Avery
