DISQUS

Um, in what way is this news? Any startup worth its salt has been using Google Apps for at least two years. It's great, and obviously the only real solution. The real question is who's going to one up Google Apps?

Joe, you would be utterly shocked how many startups have no idea about Google Apps. This is what prompted me to write the article. People who use the web everyday usually are aware of these type of services, but we are probably 1% of the actual people out there.

I have people asking me to set them up all the time. I explain to them how easy it is, i set mine up i got the premium edition $50 bucks but i am not certain that you get 25GB for each email acct ? with the free edition ? but i think i will have to start charging them to set them up ? what do u think ? cuz people are always asking me about that ? o

well it's a good post craig,
but i would not suggest Goggle Apps ( mail solutions etc.. ) , for you business purpose and the reason is quite obvious , google reads all of the mails for it's stupid adsense , which i personally feel , a big question mark to your privacy and security and Google profiles each user based on there interest and stuff and target with the ads which makes sense to them and probably make them click , profiling at this extent literaly means google pimps al my activities , which i don't like.
The suggestion is for personal use : gmail is fine but for business needs google Apps is not a good decision.

Guys i'm sorry if i made my point hard , but this is how google works and it's not like i hate google procducts, i love them , but privacy sometimes restict me to use google.

vinod, you happen to not know every thing about Google Apps as you can have control over your account with regard to ads. Do a little research before commenting. Although most people do allow Google to read email for targeted display of ads it is optional in google apps as a service and for all other gmail users too with "CustomizeGooge".

I wouldn't suggest Google Apps as the single-source solution for businesses of any size. Primarily, the customer service is very poor. An attempt is made to direct users to the web for answers to their questions, putting the burden on the customer rather than company. It is difficult to acquire help from a live person, and without knowing the exact terminolgoy and where to find answers to your questions, very hard to get help online. You pay for some minimal features, but nothing you can't get from Outlook, and without the benefit of a representative dedicated to delivering the product you purchased.

Oh, one should seriously consider switching to google apps if such service is not included in the hosting fees.

Is Google Apps still free?

I see they have a free trial but it sounds like you have to pay $50 a year after that...

Jon · 4 months ago

I see it is still free... excellent news. Think google were just updating their Google Apps page when the Standard option disappeared.

Definitely recommend Google Apps if you haven't tried it already.

I WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY A LOT TO BE ABLE TO GET RID OF GMAIL: THEY CANCELLED MY ACCOUNT, WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCESS MY SECURITY QUESTION AND DECLARE EACH NEW PASSWORD I GET AFTER DAYS OF STRUGGLING TO BE INVALID.

THEY WON'T LET ME SEND PHOTOS FROM MY MAC!
