Host your business Email with Google.Use your Business Email account on Gmail and Login from Anywhere,Anytime.

I have a domain name registered as Simulato.com where for my business Email I used to Login from a designated computer which has the Microsoft outlook configured or if I Have to login from a different place I had to login to My Web hosting provider and from there I could Login to my Web Mail and that did not have all the great features available as Gmail provides. So I took this decision to Host my Email Services to Google and now I login to my Email ( info@simulato.com ) from Gmail as a Google account and save my documents in Google Drive with all the Gmail Features like Google Talk and Hangouts.And I am always connected because I have also configured my business Email on my Android Phone.
