Is there an alternative google-apps for mail?
Google Stops offering Google Apps for free. Are there any alternatives to link your own domain with a good mail server as Gmail? So registering mail provider with his own domain.
Answer
I'm basically looking for alternatives too and so far I can only recommend Zoho Mail:
They have a lite version supporting 5 email accounts.
Update: as of 2014-11-18, Zoho's lite version now has 10 email accounts and Zoho has improved quite substantially. They now have mobile apps to access Zoho emails (very important for your technically challenged clients) and also their web interface and overall stability have improved. My recommendation for them is now stronger.
You might also want to check other paid services which are not as expensive as Google Apps:
Unfortunately, I don't think you'll find something as decent and as reliable as Google Apps for a better price but if you're looking for something with less features and you need to pay less for such a service, the above might be your best options.
Cheers.
