Gmail for your domain

Interesting ha?

https://www.google.com/hosted

Are they just doing something to compare  http://domains.live.com/ ? lol..

Interesting, I didn't knew of this service. It seems that there is a big war out there between Microsoft and Google

yeah.it's a big war.  i didnt try the domain email service though...it's complicated to me . lol..

I think that those services are kind of useless.

I mean if you have a domain name, you also have a mail server. I can't see why I should host my emails there.

Yeah..true..I havent use any email server on my domains perhaps i dont like the neomails stuff? not sure yet but they may do something different like spam free or 1g mailbox?? lol..

You can have spam free mail in your own server using software (spamassasin or any other), plus you can have many gigabytes mailboxes.

In my own server I have removed the quota for the mail accounts, meaning that an account can have up to 80Gbs mailbox! But anyway this is something that none uses so it is just a marketing game of those companies

PS : It seems that I am much reacher than you tintin now, LoL :)

Arghhhh...perhaps i should try something on my domain tin.cc . I really love it. it's neat! \o/

Mind to donate ??? hahahaa.....

Yeah, you can then have an email account like tin@tin.cc :)

off topic:

Tintin is your real name, or does it mean something to chinese language?

PS: Sure I could lend you some :)

no... i'm not that poor yet !! lol...

Yeah. tintin is my second name. xD   tin@tin.cc  is cool !!!

The next step probably is to wait till a revenue sharing option is introduced! Then we will see a lot more people interested.

What sort of rev share would you be interested in?
1) Your own adsense spot
2) Pay per email transacted
3) anything else

I know this is a little far fetched but who knows - it may happen sooner than expected.

I think that we are far from this point, except if the googlers are reading this forum :)

I like this idea, because even if you have your own server it's nice to have your email hosted by someone else. I have a Gmail account and I don't use it that much now but if I can have my own domain name, then I will start using it more.

Is this an invitation only program or anyone can be part of the beta?

I think it is not, but I can't tell because I don't have a gmail account (if you have one you can login and check if it is with invitations)

As long as you have a gmail account you can apply, but they will approve you (I'm still waiting for approval).

cool service, just submitted my information... maybe some idea to give free service to customers

I haven't heard anything from them so far.... :(

how long ago is your request?

Since the 22nd of March.

/Andreas

... that's not very long, how many accounts do you asked for?

Yippie!

just got my hosted gmail account!

Cool. Do you need a special invitation for this?

Yes, I submitted my information some weeks before registered a new domain name and now I got the hosted account, is cool gmail with your own logo.
;)

In fact its a gmail account for the user but with you as administrator between google and the user, but its a really nice idea to give extra service to customer (or maybe a chance for extra promotion?)

Just too bad you can have a special page where your users can register for an account....

/Andreas

yes I thought about that but are there people without a gmail account (or the chance to get one)?
