It really is a cost-saver. I have never been so amazed at what thye have done. Anyone using gmail.com as their day-to-day email service, would be thrilled to trasnfer their email hosting to Google’s servers. Best of all, even if the migration cannot be done immediately due to downtime issues, google gives a unique email address for testing email services for that domain alone.
This enables anyone to test the service much before in hand compared to ther hosts where you realise the service responsiveness after migration. My experience so far has been above good. I have migrated my email service from bluehost to Google’s. Since Bluehost does not allow direct modification of CNAME records, i had to raise a support ticket and within 4 hours i was up-and running.
My plan is to create emails for all of my family members, have some sort of collaboration features enabled for calendaring and documents and even start selling the email service to my cousins and other fellow-sindhis.
