Use a domain name pro-actively, with Google Apps

August 28, 2006 in Web/Tech | Permalink

Screengrab_13 Registering a domain these days is super-cheap. You can register a .com or .co.uk domain through a UK or US reseller and, if you do not need a website, simply point your domain to your existing email address so you can catch-all incoming email. However, you can do more with your domain and move it across to the beta version of Google's Apps for your Domain service.

Google's service enables your company, or a group of users, to use the Gmail service for their email. Being an online service, your users can access their email anyw here in the world. An email sent to mike@yourdomain.co.uk would be accessed through Mike's Gmail account. When Mike replies to his email, the email sent back via your domain, so it appears as From: mike@yourdomain.co.uk. All very professional.

Other services include the Google Calendar so you can share and access group calendars and Google Talk, so your users can share and collaborate through messaging or through voice conversations over the web. Add the Google Spreadsheet service and as your users have a Google account, they'll be able to upload and share an Excel spreadsheet, online.
