When Google announced earlier this year that they’ll be offering GMail service for other domains, I jumped and registered for the service. Bluehost is a great web hosting company but their web mail interface just sucks. I reverted to using a POP client and in the end, stuck with my GMail account mainly because google’s nice web interface. So with this service, I get to use my own domain with the GMail’s web user interface. In addition, GMail supports POP3 too. All it took was a simple change in my MX record on Bluehost and GMail was up in no time and serving emails for my domain. It’s awesome.
Oh yeah, the service is free…

Can I still get a gmail account? Yes – I don’t have one yet!!!
Better yet – can I still use the mail service for my other email accounts on bluehost. You are right I hate Bluehost’s mail service.
Thanks!

You can use gmail for the all email accounts for the entire domain. Gmail enables you to manage accounts too, you can create up to 10 user accounts.
