Email options in Google Domains? ›

Google Domains gives you 2 email options: Custom email with Google Workspace: Every Google Workspace subscription includes features like custom and secure email, video meetings, and collaboration tools like Calendar, Docs, Slides, and Sheets.

Luckily, it's possible to use Gmail with your own domains for free. That way, you can have the best of both worlds — a custom domain email with the convenience of Gmail's interface. You also don't have to log in to different platforms to manage your personal and business emails.

You can create extra email addresses or “email aliases” for your domain at no extra cost. Google forwards all emails sent to these aliases to your primary email address. You can set up multiple addresses, like special email addresses for business or professional needs. You can also check all your emails in one place.

Accessing Google Workspace Email

To access mail through your Google Workspace account: Log into your Google Admin Console at http://google.com/a/your_domain.com (replace your_domain.com with your actual domain name). Once logged in, click on the Google Workspace icon. Select the Gmail option.

You can create up to 100 email aliases with your domain and have them forwarded to existing email accounts.
