Positive news for domain investors -- Google facilitating buying domains and website construction on domains --
Follow the instructions on the screen, and when you’re satisfied you can go ahead and publish it for the world to see. By default, sites created with Website will follow the domain structure: β€œyourcompanyname.business.site.” A custom domain can be purchased from the Settings menu in your account, and Google will automatically connect your site with the new domain.

Sounds limited but useful for somebody wanting a website with no skills and no money to develop one. As a first step to getting online.

They did this before in the UK, offering a free domain under a programme called Getting British Business Online. It sucked 110%, and the domains did not resolve without www. Couldn't understand why Google would associate with such trash till I realised that they wanted customer to be on ugly sh*t websites they could not improve so they would have to pay for Google Adwords to ever be found by customers.

yourcompanyname.business.site just makes more sense then yourcompanyname.business.com..and Google knows that :)

You will see more and more of such examples in future, so it is good to get used to it
