WebHostingHost your business Email with Google.Use your Business Email account on Gmail...

Today I am going to write a very interesting topic which would be very helpful for a small business people who uses their business email only in their office and has limitation. After reading this article they could change the way they manage their email and use it freely from anywhere with great features of Gmail, Google Talk, Hangouts, Contacts, Task, Lookup( Look all the addresses in your company), Google Docs and Google Drive.

I have a domain name registered as Simulato.com where for my business Email I used to Login from a designated computer which has the Microsoft outlook configured or if I Have to login from a different place I had to login to My Web hosting provider and from there I could Login to my Web Mail and that did not have all the great features available as Gmail provides. So I took this decision to Host my Email Services to Google and now I login to my Email ( info@simulato.com ) from Gmail as a Google account and save my documents in Google Drive with all the Gmail Features like Google Talk and Hangouts.And I am always connected because I have also configured my business Email on my Android Phone.

  1. This will only work for 30 days because google apps for business are no longer free since 2012. And I think this is more expensive than to just upgrade to a premium email on 000webhost.

    When you upgrade you get the smtp server which you can configure in a free gmail address to send emails as you@yourdomain.com
