If you need a custom email account for your business which you can be accessing via the GMail interface, then you need to sign up for GSuite. That’s what I used to create my customized email address which has my blog domain in it.
G Suite account makes it possible for you to send email from your own domain, but using Google’s Gmail platform. In other words, your email address can be yourname@YourDomain.com instead of @gmail.com.
With G Suite, you’ll receive a number of additional business-grade services not included with Google’s free GMail. These services include:
- custom business email account i.e yourname@yourcompany.com
- twice the amount of cloud storage across Gmail and Drive,
- 24/7 phone and email support,
- importation of old emails from legacy environments such as Lotus Notes and Microsoft, cPanel webmails and
- administrative controls for user accounts.
Unlike old-school installable software like the core Office apps, you don’t install G Suite on your computer. Instead, you simply login to your G Suite account (much like you’d log into Gmail).
To use G Suite, you need a domain. Your domain name is what appears after the www. in your website URL. If you already have a domain, enter it when you sign up for G Suite. (You’ll be asked to verify that you own the domain.) If you don’t have a domain or want to use a different one with G Suite, you can purchase a domain of your choice (if available) from any domain name registrar before proceeding to set up Gsuite account.
GSuite Pricing
Gsuite offers the amazing solutions at an affordable entry point of $6 per month per user. A user is defined as one personalized email address (name@yourcompany).
You can pay for your G Suite subscription using an international credit card. Google accepts payments from Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. I pay for GSuite subscription in Nigeria by making use of my GTBank Naira MasterCard.
If you are interested, you can try GSuite for 14 days. After you sign up for G Suite, you’ll be guided to verify your domain and set up your GSuite account.
After setting up your account, you will be required to add GSuite MX Records to your domain via the Zone Editor tool in the cPanel of your web hosting account or via your domain DNS management tool (if you don’t have a website). If you fail to do this, you will not receive emails.
