Google Apps DNS Setup

Google Apps is a cloud computing suite of services that includes web-based email, documents, and other services. Unlike standard Gmail, you can use it with your own domain (i.e. instead of yourname@gmail.com, you would have yourname@yourdomain.com).

Exact IT Utilises Google Apps fo all its online needs. (Website, Email Calendar, Cloud Documents etc.)
