I’ve always created my Google Custom Search Engine by myself on the Google site. Now it gets easier as Google have partnered some of the leading US hosting providers (IPOWER, StartLogic, PowWeb, FatCow, BizLand, EasyCGI) so you can now configure Custom Search right through your web hosting firm’s management console.

This means that when you sign up for the service, you get the following benefits:

• Google account is automatically created for you
• You can generate search engines for your websites by simply identifying your domains
• Shortcuts are provided to manage your Webmaster Tools account and your Custom Search Engines
• Sitemaps for URLs on your sites can be automatically submitted to Webmaster Tools for better indexing on Google.com
• Your Custom Search engines will automatically recognize and use the submitted Sitemaps for enhanced indexing coverage
• Make money by associating your Adsense publisher ID with your search engines and sharing advertising revenue with Google
• Upgrade search engines to use Site Search for further control over branding, presentation (via XML results) and On-Demand indexing
