No-cost Legacy G Suite for life with custom Gmail domain still valid

Earlier this year, Google made a distressing announcement. The company said it would rebrand G Suite as Google Workspace and move all accounts to paid tiers. This was especially upsetting to legacy users who still use G Suite to administrate family accounts.

However, Google has finally acquiesced to pressure and will not fully undergo this change. Instead, legacy G Suite free users who meet a small set of criteria can continue to use the service without cost. Additionally, these users will not need to forego their custom domains. All your accounts will remain unchanged; you’ll retain all your data and apps and keep your custom domain name if any.

Most notably, you can “continue using your custom domain with Gmail.” Are you looking for email hosting for your domain? i.e, email like [email protected]? G Suite legacy free version is the best solution for you. It will help you save too many monthly fees.

At GWS Legacy, We make Google Workspace (formally G Suite) legacy-free available. We’ll then set your domain as an alias domain and start using your custom domain with Gmail for free for life.

G Suite, as the brand for Google’s paid offering, originally launched in 2016. In a press briefing ahead of today’s announcement, Google’s Javier Soltero, the company’s VP and GM for what is now Google Workspace, noted that the company wanted to ensure that the service that people use is the same thing that people buy.
