Purchasing a domain is always a thing of importance. One simple step changes a weblog into a brand. While going through domain purchasing process for Blogger via Google Apps, I discovered the available forms of payment that are available.
Purchasing anything via internet requires you to be a debit card or credit card holder. Similarly, Google Apps also requires you to have these to successfully make payment and have a domain and enjoy Google's services. But Google is a bit picky in letting you use a credit card or a debit card. In some countries it accepts debit cards.
Google is not a domain registrar. Domain registration are done via Google Partners like GoDaddy and ENOM.
If you will try to use Debit Card when they are not accepted, a 'Authorization failed: No reason provided' message will be displayed while making payment.
