"- Relevant text-based ads alongside email Standard"
So the interface may have adds ...
Even so, I'm going to test it using a domain I added to HG.

Google Apps

"We are checking domain ownership. This may take 48 hours to complete."

"You can create up to 100 user accounts for this domain."

Regarding HostGater - so far I am enjoying the experience too.
I'm taking my time, my test sites merely say "Hello World" in PHP for now.

Google gives these MX records

MX Server address / Priority
==========================
ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. / 10
ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. / 20
ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. / 20
ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. / 30
ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. / 30
ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. / 30
ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. / 30

And I see only one entry allowed under HostGator? (Per URL)

Test out HG support.

Everyone you would talk to is in Houston.

I tried the chat, but they suggested email, so I've done that

**usa2k** · 04-09-2008 08:23 PM

HG made the changes that fast!
Already sent test emails.

Was told after that I could have done it with WHM
I'll have to at least take a look some time.

Going back to rate the guy with high marks

Cool. We use the person's average ticket ratings (and will for VOIPo as well) for quarterly reviews, additional training, and for compensation.

HG is wrapping up a completely custom CS platform which has ticket, live chat, and phone stats all together so ALL of them will be rated and factored into the average. VOIPo will also be using their software when we're ready.

We have enough volume that comes in (each person is expected to do a minimum of 75 tickets a day) that the averages are pretty good indicators of what they're doing.

An observation about gmail

This app seems geared to the unorganized. I see no way to create sub folders. I have imported many emails from my old email address by pulling them from the old inbox and classing them as archive.

I think to Google's credit, their amazing search knowhow might be why one big bucket is used.

Do you mean setting up "LABELS" ? That is what GMAIL call folders for their mail app.
You set up a LABEL, check off the mail you want to go there and then archive it.
Once labels are set up, you can set up filters t make the mail go there first and bypass the inbox.
