What Google Workspace is
Google Workspace is Google's business suite: Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, and Meet, all running on your own domain. Instead of a free personal Gmail address, your team gets addresses like yourname@yourcompany.in — professional, trustworthy, and owned by your business.
The biggest advantage is familiarity. Almost everyone already knows Gmail, so your staff can start on day one with no training and no software to install. Everything runs in the browser or in the Gmail and Drive apps on a phone. Collaboration is simple, too: several people can edit the same document at once, share a Drive folder with a client, and keep every version in one place.

Starter vs Standard: which one do you need?
| Feature | Starter — ₹270/user/month billed yearly +GST | Standard — ₹10,320/user/year +GST |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail on your domain | Yes | Yes |
| Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides | Yes | Yes |
| Meet video calls | Yes | Yes, with recording and more controls |
| Storage | 30 GB pooled per user | More storage per user |
| Shared drives | No | Yes |
Starter is enough for most small businesses: email, documents, storage, and video calls for a team that works mainly in a browser. Choose Standard when you need more storage, shared drives for team folders, meeting recording, or tighter admin controls across a larger team.
Features included with Google Workspace
Gmail on your domain
The Gmail interface your team already knows, with your business address, no ads, and a mailbox that syncs across phone, laptop, and web. Powerful search, labels, and filters keep a busy inbox manageable, and spam filtering keeps most junk out before you see it.
Google Drive
Store quotations, invoices, photos, and project files in Drive, and share them with a link instead of an attachment. You control who can view, comment, or edit, and you can revoke access at any time — useful when a project ends or a supplier changes.
Docs, Sheets, and Slides
Write proposals in Docs, build price lists in Sheets, and prepare presentations in Slides. Several people can work on the same file at once, leave comments, and see the full version history. Files save automatically, so a power cut does not lose an afternoon's work.
Google Meet, Calendar, and contacts
Hold video calls with clients from a link — no downloads, and no account needed for guests. Shared calendars show when colleagues are free, so booking a meeting takes seconds, and shared contacts keep client details in one place.
Google Workspace vs Microsoft 365
| Google Workspace | Microsoft 365 | |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail on your domain | Outlook on your domain | |
| Documents | Docs, Sheets, Slides (browser-first) | Word, Excel, PowerPoint (desktop apps with Standard) |
| Meetings | Google Meet | Microsoft Teams |
| Storage | Drive, 30 GB pooled per user on Starter | OneDrive, 1 TB per user |
| Starting price | ₹270/user/month billed yearly +GST | ₹2,040/user/year +GST (Business Basic) |
| Standard price | ₹10,320/user/year +GST | ₹10,320/user/year +GST |
Choose Google Workspace if your team lives in a browser, loves Gmail, and collaborates on shared documents. Choose Microsoft 365 if your team works in Word and Excel desktop apps all day, or your clients expect Office files. If you only need email and not a full suite, Zoho Mail from ₹59 per user per month is the lower-cost option. Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp and tell us what tools you use today — we will recommend the simplest fit.
Who Google Workspace is best for
Google Workspace suits startups, digital agencies, schools, coaching centres, clinics, and distributed teams — any business where people work from different places and need to share documents and meet online. It is especially practical for small teams without an IT person: there is nothing to install or maintain, accounts are managed from a simple admin console, and HostMinute helps with setup, migration, and day-to-day problems on WhatsApp.
Free migration is included. We move your existing mailboxes and your old mail to Google Workspace with no downtime and no lost mail, and we set up your MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records correctly. See how email migration works.
How setup and migration work
- Message us on WhatsApp with your domain and the number of users you need.
- We confirm the plan and price — Starter or Standard — and create the accounts.
- We create each mailbox on your domain and send you the sign-in details.
- We migrate your old mail from Gmail, Outlook, Zoho, or cPanel, and update your DNS records.
- We help you sign in on Gmail web and phone, and test sending and receiving with you.
Setup usually takes hours, not days. If you do not own a domain yet, domain registration is ₹1,199 plus GST, and we can register it for you. We can also help with web hosting and domain and SSL if your website needs a home too.
Why HostMinute
Google Workspace is sold by many resellers. The difference with HostMinute is the help around it. Our headline difference is 24/7 support, including 24/7 WhatsApp support with real humans — not a ticket queue, not a chatbot. When a mailbox will not sync, a new employee needs an account, or a migration question comes up at 9 pm, you message a person and get an answer. We price in rupees, bill yearly, and explain the price before you pay. If Starter is enough, we will say so, and if your needs grow later, moving to Standard is straightforward.
