[BBLISA] Google vs pair for domain hosting?

[Scott Ehrlich]

I currently use pair.com to host my domain name and have been very happy with 
their service.   I do get a ton of spam, but I happen to be a rather patient 
person and simply opt to delete such messages.   No matter what level of spam 
tweaking I do, it still comes in.

I also have a gmail account, and the spam filtering on gmail is tremendous!   I 
do a lot of Usenet posting from Google, and don't think I've received any spam 
from doing so.

For those who use Google's web hosting or have heard stories of people who have 
done so, what is the general consensus?   How about details of good/bad 
experiences?

Although my pair account is paid through the next five years, I'd be willing to 
take a shot at this beta if enough people say enough good things about it.

I am on pair's $10/month plan.   Beta is free, of course, and it would be 
interesting to see what happens when costs come into play with respect to what 
I pay now.

About email - for those who have switched, what mechanism/method does google 
employ/use to transfer one's emails to their system once the domain is 
transferred?

Thanks for any insight/feedback.
