Google doesn't offer web hosting, but you might be interested in Google Apps ( http://www.google.com/a ). With Google Apps, you can create simple web pages for your organization from a host of templates, and offer Google services (such as email, chat, and calendar) to users at your domain. There's no hardware or software for you to install or maintain. If you don't already have a domain, we'll help you purchase a domain name online.

Hosting Tips for Google Ranking

Tip 1
Use a static IP Address. Static IP's ensure that only *your* website is linked to that IP address. We believe this increases your site ranking in Google.

Tip 2
If you are targeting Japanese visitors, then you should host with an japanese Provider. Google recognises the IP Geo-location and will give preference to your site in localized searches.

Tip 3
If you are serious about search engine ranking, use a Search Engine Specialist to optimise your site and create backlinks. If you don't wish to use a specialist, the following tips will assist you.
