Business .com email - use a google ap to host a companys emails or imap to all clients ?
Currently have a hosting company for a business .com hosting email and www
Emails are non exchange, we dont want exchange.
Im considering Imap for all clients but risk of loosing email data store at some stage and limitation of storage cap from hosting co for emails.
Another option is getting google/gmail to host their .com emails
So emails would be sent received using a google mail ap. Ive heard of this before but never seen it in action.
What would you do? imap or gmail ap?
Number of user ....
Computers - approx 3
Smart phones - approx 3
Business - small retail shop.
Also - Can the www stay hosted with the current hosting co and email be hosted by google? Dont want to move the www.
Thanks.

I would look @ Office 365 as a suggestion as it runs an Exchange 2013 environment.

What do google apps charge PM?
Thanks.
Thanks.
It comes out to $50/yr/account, or $5/mo/account. But remember, not all email addresses in your business are necessarily accounts. If you have a group, for example, called Sales, and want that to go to multiple people - sales@yourdomain.com isn't an account, so that's free. If your name is Fred Smith, and your email address is fsmith@yourdomain.com, but sometimes people send you mail to fred@yourdomain.com, so you want that too - that can be an alias, which also doesn't cost extra. The only thing you're paying for are actual accounts - where someone will be logging in to get their mail.

Hi d0ughb0y.
re .... The only thing you're paying for are actual accounts - where someone will be logging in to get their mail.
There will be 1 email account and approx 3 pc and a few smart phones.
So what would the cost be? $50/yr total ?

I email would cost just £3.30 per month.
