Migration of your email service to G Suite
If your site is www.yourcompany.com, your email address might be info@yourcompany.com.If you're not happy with your current email service, you'll probably want to migrate your email services to G Suite.
To use G Suite instead of your current email provider, create a G Suite account to manage your email through a custom Gmail account. This way, you can keep the same email address, but create an entirely new account with new inboxes and billing managed by Support4u. After you're set up with G Suite, you'll cancel service with your original email provider.
For a seamless transition, create your G Suite account through support4u first before cancelling with your email current host.
Before you Begin
- Ensure you have access to your domains DNS Management control panel
- Don’t cancel your current email service or adjust any MX records on your email provider’s end until your G Suite setup is complete.
- You’ll need administrator access to your current email account.
- To transfer messages, contacts, or other content from your current email account, note that transfer compatibility depends on your current provider and the file types they support.
