| Google Apps Activate & Verify Domain Ownership | |||
|
close X
Before we can activate a Google Apps account on your domain, Google needs proof that you own it. This will ensure that your domain is protected – that only those within your organization may use it to access Google services. HostPapa will take care of the verification process without interrupting your email or other communications and services. Once verified, we'll activate your Google Apps account. |
|||

|||
| Set Up Google Chat | |||
|
close X
Get ready to talk! Google chat lets you communicate via instant messaging or video chat – HostPapa's Google Apps experts will make sure that you and your employees are ready to go. |
|||
| Custom URLs (eg: mail.yourdomain.com) | |||
|
close X
A custom URL may be easier for users to remember than your default server address. If you'd like, HostPapa will create one for each of your core Google Apps services, for example mail.yourdomain.com or calendar.yourdomain.com. |
|||
| Set Up Sub-Organizations & User Assignments | |||
|
close X
HostPapa can tailor your Google Apps service to meet the needs of different groups (or “sub-organizations”) within your organization. You can assign different policies or access levels to each sub-organization – just another example of the flexibility of your Google Apps suite. | |||
| Set Up Email Aliases | |||
|
close X
An email alias is a separate email address that will feed into a primary email account. For example, you may want johnathan@company.com and john@company.com to feed into the same inbox – no problem! HostPapa can set up as many as 30 email aliases per user. |
|||
| Configure Calendar Sharing | |||
|
close X
Set up your Google Calendar and share for better event planning, office organization, and more. Share your calendar so your colleagues know when you're available. You may even overlay different calendars to make choosing a meeting time easy! | |||
| Set Up & Verify Secondary Domain Names | |||
|
close X
You can attach more than one domain name to your Google Apps account. Just as in the case of your primary domain name, HostPapa will verify, protect, set up, and activate any secondary domain names you use. | |||
| Set Up & Configure Mailbox Delegation | |||
|
close X
You may “delegate” or allow someone else to manage your mail – he or she would be able to read, send, and delete mail from your mailbox. HostPapa will set up this advanced feature, and ensure access is restricted to only the individual(s) you delegate. This is great for executive assistants or general mailboxes that may be monitored by more than one staff person. | |||
