Thread: Hitch Your Domain to Google Apps

Owning and operating a Web domain-not to mention setting up the e-mail servers, user accounts, and hosting¬used to be a pricey affair. Not any longer. If you already oWD a domain through another regis¬trar, you can use it with Google Apps, which allows you to configure Gmail as the mail server for your domain, as well as to set up subdomains for use with other services, such as Google Docs & Spreadsheets, Calen¬dar, and Page Creator.



Browse to. com/ai, click Get Started, choose Sign Up under Standard Edi¬tion, and either enter your existing domain name or purchase an available one through the registrar GoDaddy. Google Apps will then prompt you to create an administrator account for the new domain-and that's it. You'll see your Google Apps Dashboard page, where you create additional user accounts (up to 200) , and configure
chat, calendar sharing, and document set¬tings, among other options.
