How to migrate Google For Your Domain to normal Gmail
Google has decided to fuck over its early adopters. Way back in 2006, Google announced Google Apps for Your Domain. Basically it was Gmail - but you could use your own domain. No more example@gmail.com now you could be me@example.com. Hurrah!
organizations that sign up during the beta period will not ever have to pay for users accepted during that period (provided Google continues to offer the service).
Google still offers the service - since renamed G-Suite, then Workplace, and next week to be renamed Google Plus for Work Home Edition Beta. But they're now going to charge people for it.
