We use google apps for education which i find to be poorly designed by project managers and programmers who s eem never worked in to have worked in a corporate environment. This product does not scale well, its missing features like a central address book, delegation (which is only available in premium). Migration from exchange was much harder than it needed to be. To call this product “enterprise” is a joke. It is needs a lot of work to go from a half thought out bolt on to gmail to something worthwhile

Well I’ve had one unfortunate incident with Google Apps.
I had set up an Apps solution in my company Orango for a customer.
Thing is, before my client had had the chance to move his domain to our DNS’es, the validation period expired, and all of his e-mails disappeared.

So actually it’s our own fault. I love Google Apps! :-D but perhaps they could consider sending out an extra warning regarding verification a couple of days before the deletion process initiates, instead of just the one they send out 10 days before. Just saying..

Hi Ali: Google has a tutorial that shows you how to use your domain. You have to add a Cname in your domain manager. when you have Google apps you can then add up to 100 e-mail accounts with your domain.

Hi Troy: The premium account costs $50/year. the standard account is absolutely free (except for the yearly fee you have to pay for your domain).

Hi Jonathon: I dont think Google would ever cancel your account. but my point was that if they do so you can still use your e-mail address but with another service. And if you want to backup your mail i think i would forward my inbox to another e-mail address. but you could also use a mail-client and have your mails on a computer.

to troy: the premier account costs $50 per year. The standard account is absolutely free. But again, you have to pay for a domain.

To Ali: you have to add something called a cname in your domain manager. Google has a tutorial that shows you how to do that.

To jonathan: well i guess they would either keep your info or delete it;)(haha).I do see your point. But i dont see why Google would ever do so. But if you want to backup your mail i would say that you should consider forwarding your e-mails to a second e-mail address.

I agree with him 100%. Google Aps or in that case Google’s Mail in general is one of the best systems i’ve seen so far throughout the industry. With additional abilities such as Calendar, GTalk, and much more. I feel that Google Aps bring’s a sense of personalization(if that’s a word). It keeps your email more professional, and when employers are looking for employees they will probably think that you are a mature mature person rather than someone with an email such as coolguy0834@gmail.com. It also brings simplicity to your email, and calendar system allowing you to create more group work and discussions.

I definitely think that Google hit this one right on the nose.

I just switched my email over to Google Apps as well… one question though, as you alluded to in the post – what happens if Google does cancel your account? Sure you get to keep your address, but what about your email history? My email history has a LOT of business data in it, and I need to know it is backed up. In fact, that is a big part of the reason I went with Google… using IMAP I can have a copy locally and on the server, so if my laptop gets stolen or worse, I know my email is ok. But then you’re still just trusting Big G…

Where is it that Google Apps for Domain is free? I only see a $50/year option or School, Non-profit, and ISP options.

Where is the free version?

Thanks!
