Domain Services from Microsoft?

by Ryan Lane on November 25, 2005

Huh, you said what? Microsoft is offering domain hosting? Check out Windoes Live Custom Domains. It’s in Beta, but what isn’t these days.

I guess I just don’t understand why MS would want to get involved in an already very crowded space. Sure, I see this as a nice value add to service to customers. I wonder what the .NET support is like for developers?

update: Endqoute was nice enough to point out that I didn’t read it clearly. The hosting looks to be email plus communications based stuff only at this time.

Based on that description, it looks like they’re just hosting your MX records or something, not handling registration or web site hosting.
