Use Google Apps with free domain (Co.CC)

Everyone , Everyone likes Free stuff , everyone knows google has started Google Apps for email ,

documents , sites and many stuffs

Smart apps for email, documents, sites and more.

Google Apps gives everyone at your organization a custom email address, tools for word processing,

spreadsheets and presentations, a shared calendaring system and access to a flexible intranet system.

Standalone security and compliance services are also available.

Many of us are not at all intrested in these stuffs but the most intresting stuff in it for masses is the

custom domain for Gmail Free Email Service .
many of us dont like @gmail.com or @google.com extention after gmail , isn't be very cool if someone could

change it to own domain like @yourname.co.cc

We know there are many Services which allow us to change it to custom domain
but there is one factor we are not choosing it that is

THEY CHARGE MONEY !

So , We Should ask ? is there any free alternative for this ? The answer is YES . THere IS a Free

alternative and it is called Google Apps and CO.CC free Domain name .

Most of us here are non-geeks ( or geeks) who cant actually figure out how to set these things up .

i am here to post a short tutorial on this . Let's Start .

First of All Go to Co.CC (If anyone want to thank me for creating this tutorial he can sign up by this link *www.co.cc/?id=142768 :smile:

) and choose your

domain name and sign up there .

After Signing there go to Domain Settings page .You can choose upto three domains from here . lets start

with one . it will take less than 48 hours for approval for the domain , till then set up the remaining

part

domain names with popular name are being charged for depending on their view abt how popular it is - like they are charging $88 for www.g****h.co.cc

...their business model

Damn..I will try to get a free one

Btw,

for www.g****h.co.cc .

Why is .co.cc so famous? What's wrong with .co.nr?

^^ Co.nr doesnt provide CNAME MX and other DNS things

Create IDs for them and give it to them. And it's not your mail service.

@vishalgupta
glad i could help

@slugger the site ugave abt Creating your own, unique email id - Google Apps ..........in this how to verify ?

@pritish_kul2

you have to create a CNAME entry in EveryDNS for the verification

ok the one which is ghs.google.com?

^ Yep. With the string. You can do that directly with in the co.cc account too.

it may be that or may not be. One google Apps Account I helped setup had this as the CNAME value for verification

you got to see for yourself what value you have been asked to add for verification

usin CO.CC's control panel not advisable. If you choose to create a website also with that domain name then it will add add a sign saying Powered by CO.CC in the title of all the pages along with its own favicon

bump : **** i got charged for renewal fees but i used the amount collected from the referrals to extend my domain for 5 more years and donated to get 100 more domains

Max, your siggy is really funny but very true !!

there is no compulsion that we use Powered By Co.CC Logo , the one i am useing is just affalite link

Also if u use advance settings in co.cc then u can get rid of Favicon , in my case i used Zone Records
