Gmail Storage hit 6GB

Gmail storage today hit just over 6 GB of storage for their email accounts. Google Apps accounts sit at 6069 MB and Gmail accounts sit at 6073 MB.

Google Apps is a service that Google provide webmasters to administrate email accounts for their domain so that email is @yourdomain.com and is not hosted by your webhost so that your webhost space is not used for emails.

Google Apps comes in a variety of flavours but the two important ones are free and enterprise.

Free includes 1000 user accounts each with 6069 MB of storage for emails. The Enterprise editions include 25 GB of storage for each email account but comes at a price of $50 per user per year.

These services are continually being improved with Google continuing to create new software for use on the internet to combine with their email such as their online spreadsheet and word processor.

All of these services Google has created run off AJAX an extension of JavaScript(not Java) which allows parts of a page to be refreshed without the need for the whole page to be refreshed speeding up the delivery of data between server and client.
