Helios Solutions.net is now offering all of it's clients the ability to use Gmail as the email provider for their account.
With the introduction of Google Apps, it is now possible to have Google Gmail on your own domain name. You can now get the best of both worlds. You can have a personal domain name (like "your-last-name.com") with the massive storage features of one of the most popular webmail programs out there today. This is a fully featured Gmail account too, not some scaled down version. And, because you will be getting the GBs of email storage Gmail provides free, you won't risk going over your storage quota on your plan here. Not only that, but you can also get Google Docs, Calendar, and Sites as well. All at the same time and in one place.
And the best part? It's free!
That's right. All of this is completely free. All you pay for is your web hosting with us, and we take care of the rest.
The fine print:
There isn't much, but there is a little bit you should know before you rush to signup for this.
The Gmail option is not compatible with our Spam and Virus Protection services. Gmail has their own spam filtering process. Unfortunately their system is not compatible with the server level filtering we offer.
We do not directly support Gmail. Your email will become a Gmail Apps account. Thus, it will be completely in the hands of Google. It will be using your domain name, but all problems or issues with it will not be fixable by us. Google has a pretty strong track record, so this is not a big worry, but we can not help you in the rare case that Gmail goes out. We will support you as much as we can, but, in the end, all Google services are under their control and responsibility.
We do this as a service to you...not as a revenue stream. We don't get kickbacks form Google or anything like that. We offer this service completely free because Google offers it to you completely free. What we do is host your website, configure your DNS settings, and ensure your Google services are set up to work properly.
If I can do all this for free on Google...why pay you to begin with? Good question. You pay us to do things you can't do on Google. For example, you can't make a really in-dept website with Google Sites compared to what you can do with HTML here. You can't have MySQL databases and advanced features like that on Google Sites. You also can't have someone set it all up for you directly from Google. We are here to help you along the way. You need someone who knows how this all works to set it up for you. You have to own a domain name and have DNS (MX, and CNAME) settings edited properly for Google Apps to work...and that is what we are here to help you with.
Any other questions? If so, just ask support for a quick reply.
If not, you can sign up for this service through the order cart. Just check the "Google Apps" add-on when buying your hosting. If you have already purchased hosting, just email support and request it be set up for you.
