Let Google host your email :)

I’ve heard about it quite long ago from my VNOSS friends, but have just tried to do it by myself recently. Please pardon my ignorance, as usual..

If you own a domain (e.g. johndoe.com or vnfreelance.net the thingy you’re reading)  and you want to have a good email solution for it, this may be the answer.

Simply go to Google Apps, choose ‘Organizations and members’ if you want to try the free version and follow the steps to register your domains

A few steps more and you’re now having your emails hosted by Google, enjoying all the sexy benefits like 6GB mailbox, POP/IMAP access and  many other things. I do like it as now I can check my own mail easily from the PDA  via IMAP and still keeping all the original emails on the server. Hassle-free. Device-independent. What else can you think of?

Well some time ago I made a resolution to write about good things only.. thanks Google for making my day :)

PS: just after doing this I’m curious about whether Microsoft has something to compete with it. And here it is  Windows Live Admin Center  . Hope I can find some time to test it shortly, but the ideas of having free Pushmail on your domain is not bad, eh?
