But the costs are quite high. Let’s say you have 5 people in your company who need email accounts. On the Google Workspace Basic plan, that’s $360 for the whole year. For a small business that needs to monitor every dollar, $360 is quite a bit of money.<\/p>\n

What if you had 10 employees on the Google Workspace business plan?\u00a0 That would be $1,440 a year.<\/p>\n

Is there any way to skip these costs and get Google Workspace for free?<\/p>\n

There are several ways to get Google Workspace for free:<\/p>\n

\"G<\/p>\n

1 – Get Google Workspace for FREE when setting up mail on a Gmail hosting<\/h2>\n

So yes, it is possible to get Google Workspace for free. But the official version is not free unless you are a non-profit or educational organization. You’ll have to set it up yourself or pay for it.<\/p>\n

One of the lessons I’ve had to learn is that it’s possible to lose money trying to earn a few cents. It’s especially easy to lose sight of the big picture when it comes to getting a good deal on software.<\/p>\n

Today, I’m more inclined to pay for software that completely solves a problem. A simple subscription that handles all of my company’s email, allows me to easily manage my company’s user accounts, gives me a complete set of office software, and the document storage space is very useful. Many problems disappear instantly when you buy . In these cases it is worth it.<\/p>\n

My rule of thumb for buying an office is that it is worth it, as long as you have 2 or more employees who need company email accounts.<\/p>\n

Google Workspace\u00a0is not the only option, Microsoft Office 365<\/strong> competes with Google Workspace directly with a very similar offer. Personally, I prefer Google Workspace. It also has much higher user satisfaction ratings than Office 365 generally.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works:<\/p>\n

You sign up for a free Gmail account.
\nThis also gives you access to standard Google Workspace products like Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets.
\nYou’ll then direct your business email to your Gmail account so you can send and receive email from that address through Gmail.
\nLet’s go over it step by step.<\/p>\n

First, sign up for a personal Gmail account here: https:\/\/www.google.com\/gmail\/about\/#<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s completely free.<\/p>\n

Try to register your-company@gmail.com if you can. If it is already registered you have to modify it slightly, it’s ok. This will not be your public email address anyway. You will mainly use it to access your Google account.<\/p>\n

You’ll then have access to Google Apps (Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets) along with 15GB of storage space.<\/p>\n

Right there, you’ll have most of the Google Workspace for free.<\/p>\n

The downside is that your email will be your-company@gmail.com. It works like a small business, but it doesn’t have the same professionalism as your-name@your-company.com<\/p>\n

There’s a way around it.<\/p>\n

Any domain registration will give you the option to create an email address or a domain on your own. Your domain name is the company you used to purchase the domain name for your company’s website, it could also be the web host you used to set up your company’s website.<\/p>\n

The settings are always slightly different depending on the exact domain registration or web host. You are looking for the email features once you are logged in.<\/p>\n

A quick word of warning: you may be charged more to set up an email address on your domain. If you’ve purchased your domain through a web host, it often comes with a basic email for free. If you don’t have web hosting and only have a domain registration, you’ll probably have to pay to set up email on your domain. You’ll still get by, it will be much cheaper than paying for Google Workspace.<\/p>\n

In this example, the hosting plan is about $20 per year. After you purchase it, you’d set it up to direct all your email to your free Gmail account. A user on the Google Workspace Basic plan costs $72 per year, so you’d save $52 by using this option.<\/p>\n

Prices vary slightly from one domain registration to another.<\/p>\n

You’ll get everything you need for a single email account at $9.88 per year. That saves you $62 a year compared to going with Google Workspace. And the $13.88\/year domain is pretty good too, allowing you to set up up to 10 emails.<\/p>\n

To get a company email set up for free, you’ll need to use the email features that are included with your web hosting account. Most hosting plans include an e-mail option for accessing your e-mail. They also have all the necessary settings for connecting the hosting e-mail accounts to your Gmail account. This is how it would work:<\/p>\n

Log in to your web hosting account.
\nSet up your e-mail address on your web server.
\nIn your web host’s support documents, find the settings needed to connect your company’s email to Gmail.
\nConfigure your email settings so you can receive and send emails from Gmail.
\nStart using Gmail for all your emails.
\nTo learn more about sending your business email to your Gmail account, please refer to your domain registration or web hosting’s support documents. They’ll have step-by-step instructions on how to set it up. You can also contact support staff for additional assistance.<\/p>\n
