Kishalaya Kundu wrote on AndroidHeadlines.com that Google may start offering custom Gmail addresses for as low as $2 a month. Kundu referenced a report from GSM Arena who actually got screenshots before Google removed the information.

From the article:

Google is seemingly prepping to offer custom email addresses to Gmail users for as low as $2 per month, if a new report on GSMArena is to be believed. The website claims that Google is going to offer a whole new plan for $2 alongside its existing plans for business users, which cost either $5 or $10 per month for each user depending on the options chosen. Google however seems to have removed any mention of its rumored upcoming offering from its site soon after the news of the plan’s impending rollout started getting reported in the media. As for the rumored new plan, it will reportedly allow existing Gmail users to switch over to a custom ID (say, from yourname(at)gmail.com to yourname(at)yourdomainname.com).

    This would be great. I hope Google does start selling email addresses. Let them pave the way and educate consumers a premium email address is worth paying for. This could be a good opportunity for the Premium Domain owners to start selling email addresses off of their valuable domains. I think free email will be eventually be a thing of the past. I compare it to Cell phones where years ago everyone chose the free cell phone which came with the plan at no cost. Now people are finding value in paying for an upgraded phone that gives them more value (ie: smartphones). I have been trying to sell email addresses for a few years now but unfortunately the average consumer wants the crappy free email address that means nothing to them and is hard to remember, like “bob-smith-120265@gmail.com”. I personally have many good Email focused domains including some “.email” gtld’s. I think the opportunity for selling “Geo Email” or “Generic Email” will increase and at $24 a year that can add up to a lot of income with thousands of email address subscriptions per domain.

    They had offered this for free and you got grandfathered in before they made it a paid thing.

    My email address is @anticareer.com and it is through gmail and it is free.

      Exactly, so what is the news?

      Google have offered this service for years and is an upsell entry point for google.

      Any domain can host their email via Google/Gmail?

      Unless this is something I’ve not heard about, yet?

    Here is a pretty good step by step guide:

    There will likely be an additional step required now for the payment options.

      Worse thing: your emails will be used against you. Its better to have your server rather than having uncle sam tap into your emails when ever he wantd and also gmail are directly downloaded on govt servers without even ur permission

      i have my own server through namecheap, cost 3 $ / month and u can host as many emails u want with mutiple names.
