Google Apps Standard Edition Harder to Get
I regularly use Google Apps to handle my e-mail for multiple domains. But, as of January 14th, things have gotten a bit more difficult.
You can find a lot of links on Google to their premium edition of Google apps. Unfortunately, it costs $50 per user per year. So, your organization of 50 people will cost you $2500 per year. But, if you can find Google Apps Standard Edition (and you don’t mind a couple of ads), you could get pretty much the same thing for free. If only you could find it!
Well, to make your life easier, I am providing you with a direct link to sign up for a Google APps Standard Edition. It is available at http://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain/new.
For those of you unfamiliar with Google Apps Standard Edition, here is what you get:
- Gmail and Google Calendar to help businesses save money and keep employees connected. Mobile support and IMAP are included.
- Google Docs and Google Sites to enhance your company’s traditional
productivity software and help employees share information efficiently. - Free, ad-supported, up to 50 user accounts and 7.287689 GB / account
- 10 GB shared storage for Google Docs and Sites
- Self-serve online support
Enjoy your new account!
If you found this post useful, why don't you buy me a cup of coffee to show your gratitude?

May 23rd, 2009 at 10:25 amLOL I guess the joke is on me!! I meant to say 50 X $50 = $2500. Which is the case in the above example. Not 50 X $500, which in fact would be $25,000. My bad!!

June 30th, 2009 at 6:08 amThanks for the post. I just went and looked at Google Apps and as I though Ouch! at the $50 per user account, I looked around the page for some cheaper option. It wasn’t too hard to find the standard edition link.
Cheers.

July 29th, 2009 at 8:12 amThanks so much for the link to standard edition. I am not a tech person, just a businessman, and I want to try out Google Apps as an email server solution. Could not find the link again until I Googled and found your blog.

December 16th, 2009 at 3:37 pmI made a Google Apps Standard Edition account this morning, but didn’t have time to use it. I shut down the computer, and now I have no idea how to log into the account. Any help? Google Apps has got to be the most difficult thing to use out of all of Google’s products.
