Hey,
I noticed this when signing up for google apps today, you can elect google to buy a domain on your behalf.
The domain appears to be from google but it's not, google just auto configure it to work with google apps it's
actually hosted through GoDaddy and if you naviagte to
Domain Management (In gApps) > Domain Settings > Domain Names > Advanced DNS settings
It takes you to the GoDaddy control panel.
Just thought people may find this helpful.
Prefer Internet.bs and namecheap.com myself… Both cheaper.
