Yes, Its bit confusing what if I register my site both at
Google Apps and Windows Live Custom Domains.......

I know its all going to mess up


so which one is better Google or Live??

( I have cancelled my domain at Live, will this mean that in future they will ban me to do so)

Now whats that open membership???

Windows Live provides unlimited email IDs... google just 100
The live email interface is far better than gmail and is even quite impressive!

But down to the line ... putting up a site on a free host and getting it registered on Live was difficult!

Change cname over a free host???? No Way.

Thats why I am satisfied with google apps?

But what are the reasons from your side for giving google apps first preference?

With Open Membership i meant that, with Google Apps users cannot register and Signup themseleves. Some Admin has to setup their account :(

1. No, you can get more than 100 ID's from Google Apps
2. Yes, i agree Live has more good looking interface but i I dont think Live Domains alllows you to set logos and stuff so it doesnt allow to much branding
3. You can get free third party DNS Management like editdns.net etc

AD, which AD :confused:

Branding i meant...the Live domain site shows too much Microsoft Live Banners and stuff. With Google, you can set the logo, it only shows "powered by google" at footer

1. No, it doesnt force you to add banners. Those banners are optional and any signups using Referral links from those banners will give you donar status for some time frame.

2. Thanks for interest. You can check my Hosting plans at :)

For DNS Management I vote for *www.everydns.net/ and I dont think neither google apps or Live Domain service has any thing to do with DNS zones !!!

they provide some hosting/domain related services, like domain email and stuff like that... and in that regard Google apps are better any day :)
