We only have a couple hundred customers on it, but the concept for having a domain for your subs is to keep them just a little more “sticky”. It seems to work and if they do cancel we charge them $ 5 a month to keep the account, invoiced quarterly.
We have almost no calls on email with googleaps. So, I will kinda miss it From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Hammett Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2015 1:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Google Apps for ISP solutions Different clients I guess? Then we also do more than just e-mail. Host various other things on our vSphere cluster (soon to be clusters), VPLS transport, voice, etc. I don't know any businesses using Google and only one that uses 365 and that's only three or four HR accounts to not have to bring the 1,500 box mailserver HIPPA compliant. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ________________________________ From: "Josh Reynolds" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, "Mike Hammett" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Wednesday, January 7, 2015 12:49:29 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Google Apps for ISP solutions Anybody we talk to either has business email through office 360 or google, or home email through google, apple, microsoft, or yahoo.

You do have businesses in Alaska, don't you? :-p Plus performance (for those business clients). Talking to DJ that manages the WISPA lists. My mail servers (I have seven VMs, though two are for authentication) are among the fastest to respond out of the 4k addresses that run through there. The businesses like that performance. It's always that their mail server is too slow, not mine. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ________________________________ From: "Josh Reynolds" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, "Mike Hammett" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Wednesday, January 7, 2015 12:17:02 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Google Apps for ISP solutions Why provide a service that costs you time and money when others provide a better service for free that they (customers) have access to with your internet service?

Has anyone found a good solution for Gmail yet? If so I would love to hear it. Also does anyone know if the free service is also going away or was it just Apps for ISP's paid? We have one domai n that was grandfathered in and one that is paid. Just wondering if we'll have to migrate the free account as well. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
