Google Workspace

Google Workspace for business email

GRID EATER recommends Google Workspace for many small businesses, but the account remains a third-party Google subscription and the customer can choose another provider.

Typical setup

The exact Google plan and current price are confirmed at setup time.

  • Create or connect the Workspace account
  • Verify the domain
  • Configure MX records
  • Configure SPF and DKIM
  • Add DMARC where appropriate
  • Create user mailbox addresses
  • Check delivery after DNS propagation

Commercial separation

The approximate NZ$15 + GST per user/month figure is only a guide. Google controls the subscription and may change pricing or plan features.

GRID EATER's NZ$95 + GST annual website-hosting charge does not include Google Workspace licences.

  • Customer pays Google or the agreed reseller
  • GRID EATER handles normal setup/DNS within scope
  • Additional migration or archive work may require separate scope
