Why I recommend Google Apps
email @ your domain name
- If there is an issue with the hosting server, your email is not affected.
- You have total control over the email accounts on your domain.
- It's powered by Google's Gmail which offers the best spam filters I've experienced.
- 20mb limit for attachment size (that's big).
- Custom email addresses -- Your accounts use your own domain name, like tracie@traceablecreations.com, and users log in at a custom URL for domain. The login URL for email accounts is mail.yourdomain.com. Be sure to replace 'your_domain.com' with your actual domain name.
- Ample mail storage -- All users get gigabytes of storage. 7000mb+ (that's huge).
- Powerful mail search tools -- The power of Google search is available for your inbox. Find saved messages instantly, even if you don't keep your mail organized.
- Integrated contact list -- Keep track of your contacts by automatically remembering people that you've corresponded with.
- Integrated instant messaging -- See who's online and instant message with them in real-time, right within the mail browser window. Chat conversations are saved and searchable, just like email conversations.
- Integrated calendar features -- Your email account recognizes meeting requests and invitations, and helps you RSVP without ever leaving your inbox.
- Virus, spam and phishing protection -- Google uses powerful technology to effectively block viruses, filter spam, and alert you when you receive phishing messages. These features help provide a safer email experience.
- POP and mail forwarding -- POP lets you download mail to applications like Outlook and Eudora. Forwarding gives you more flexibility by letting you check your mail from another email account.
- Mobile access -- Install the mobile application onto your BlackBerry device for fast access to your mail account when you're on-the-go.
