Google for the office [updated]

I just wanted to put a link here for Google Apps, which I have now implemented for two different offices.

  • General instructions for creating CNAME records
  • General instructions for setting up MX records.

Highly recommended.

Edited to add: I was in the middle of setting up Google Apps for an office, and have since done it again for a two-person business. Therefore, I didn't really have time to explain what it is. So, without further delay:

Google Apps gives everyone at your organization a custom email address, tools for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations, a shared calendaring system and access to a flexible intranet system. (Google Apps.)

The standard edition is free and includes 6.8 GB of mail storage per email address for up to 100 email addresses. There's also a paid edition for $50.00 a year, and includes 25 GB of mail storage per user account, together with a few more features and telephone support.

You do need a domain name, which you can get on your own, or, I think you can even buy it through Google.

Again, highly recommended.
