Google's recent approval as an ICANN-accredited registrar has sparked specualtion that the company may be considering enterting into the domain selling and webhosting businesses. However, a Google spokesperson has said the company has no plans to sell domains. But speculation continues since Google's competitor Yahoo sells domain names and webhosting. TheHostingNews.com reports that, " Domain registration, combined with the already operating a free blogger service, and its huge user base would be a potentially lucrative market for domain names and Web hosting. Additionally its other beta services such as gmail and Google News allow for even further expanasion verticals."
