ReplyDeleteHey Srinivas
ReplyDeleteFirst of all thanks for this tutorial.
I use google apps since 2006 for myself and for my costumers and i can say its amazing.
But, are you sure that its free untill 50 users???
when i try to create a new account it says that its free to 10 users.
I have 3 old accounts that i can create 25 users for free.
i think the max users are now 10
ReplyDeleteGreat, thanks for your info
ReplyDeleteYes, Its very useful. I also own this
ReplyDeleteyou are amazing...
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial. Thanks. I've seen that possibility before but it seamed too complicated. I would like to use it for 1000+ users. Is it possible (how much it costs)?
ReplyDeletegreat tutorial dude..
ReplyDeletei dont know whats new here... it was always free (limited, but free)
ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDelete"Free 30 day Google Apps for Business trial"
that is trial???
it's cool dude..thanks..
ReplyDeletethanks dude
ReplyDeleteGreat Post dude
ReplyDeleteAlready using the service. Thanks for spreading the word..
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteU rock buddy :)
Great post. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAlready using Google Apps Free service for more than 3 years now...Though Late a nice Tutorial with clean images!
ReplyDeleteIt costs 50$ annual per email
ReplyDeleteOR
5$Monthly per email
also the free limit is 10 accounts, as it was 50 users before, I know that 10 users is really very limited as its not that useful having only 10 accounts, I believe the 10 should be 25 accounts to make it much more powerful for every body to use.
It really works?
ReplyDeleteI thought this service was now paying
Can't de see the images
ReplyDeleteI've use google apps long time ago. And I find the old Google Apps allow upto 50 account for free. So if you're using just recently then you its reduced to only 10 account. But for those who has used since before then the free accounts still remains 50 nos.
ReplyDeleteHello, great post, a question, if i need moving on the same hosting to different accounts, you think it's necessary make changes on google? (Note: the hosting accounts have the same DNS).
ReplyDeleteIn Advance, ty...
nice post
ReplyDeleteThanks for amazing tutorial it helps me a lot :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice tutorial. Is there any way we can use hotmail for our own domain like this ?
ReplyDeleteFor those who are confused if Google Apps is free or not. There is a standard free version that is limited to 10 (email)accounts. If you need more than 10 accounts, you will have to use the paid version.
ReplyDeleteI do install Google Apps for businesses, and the free version is excellent for small businesses but I am not sure how long it will stay free.
Google and your post on this Google Apps is really awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome,
ReplyDeletejust installed Google Apps on my Domain!
FYI, old google apps accounts, often referred to as 'grandfathered' google apps accounts, still have their original limit of user accounts. (100, 200, 500, 1000 etc). I have some that can create up to 1000 user accounts. Drop me an email if you need one :)
ReplyDeletewowww.....
