Google Apps For Your Domain (GAFYD) is a wonderful service started by Google a couple of years ago providing free email, publishing & collaboration tools. What is not so wonderful is that there is no option to merge an account created within GAFYD with an existing Google account. In other words the Google Apps Account is different from a regular Google Account created by regular Gmail.

One of the most annoying part regarding the Yahoo Mail featuresets is that the free features offered by Yahoo differ on a country to country basis. While advanced features like POP & Forwarding are not available for free to users having email on the yahoo.com domain, they are available to most of the users on other country specific yahoo domains like yahoo.co.uk, yahoo.co.uk, yahoo.com.au or yahoo.co.in !!
To further confuse matters, the features also depend upon what are the Country & Content settings selected in the Account Information of the Yahoo user. So if somebody on yahoo.co.uk changes his settings to English-US, then his POP & forwarding gets disabled even though he is a yahoo.co.uk user. For a yahoo.com user, no matter what settings you select, there is no chance of POP & Forwarding getting enabled.

It is very simple & cheap to create your own online presence on the internet. All you need is around $10 per year. And you don’t need to know html or be too tech savvy. You only need to buy your own domain on a domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap and then use completely free services such as Google’s Blogger and Google’s Apps For Your Domain to host your website & email on your very own domain.
