MYOB Email Migration - Switching from MYOB to Google Apps
Updated 8 March 2019
If you are an MYOB client with business email connected to your domain name, we have a simple and easy solution to keep your mailbox eg yourname@businessname.co.nz.
When Small Business Web Designs upgrades an MYOB website, we must transfer your domain name to the registrar that we use which is Domains4Less because MYOB will not host domains or email accounts without a website, so we must transition them.
Our process is simple - we transfer your domain name to GoDaddy (this takes 2-5 days) and once it comes over, we will re-create your exact same email address yourname@businessname.co.nz through Google Apps for Business which is Google's popular and powerful mailbox service. We will send you the login details to access your email account through the Gmail interface which is super easy and now you have a mailbox connected to it to email clients from directly (instead of a redirection).
If your email is not a re-direction to your personal email and you have a mailbox account, please advise us before we proceed as your mailbox settings might be slightly different and we can possibly keep it where it is, depending on your registrar (if it's not MYOB).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I am also confused as to whether I will be able to keep the same email address. Please advise
A: You will keep the same email address, so you don't need to change your business cards or marketing. We re-create it and give you access instantly after this is done so you will never lose a business email.
Q: I have more than one business email - what happens?
A: We can re-create each email for your business. Please note Google Apps charges US$5 per email account per month, so you may need to evaluate the need for the emails if they were previously less frequently used.
Q: Is this US$5 per month a contract?
A: Not at all, you can pay Google month my month and stop if you no longer need the email
Q: Is there any limit on this email and its use?
A: Not at all - you can use the email account as you would any other email account. There is a 30GB space limit and the ability to send a maximum of 500 emails per day, which are standard features.
Q: Is this email secure and safe?
A: Yes, Google Apps is built on security and safety - hacking and robot attacks on Google Apps accounts is a near-zero risk, and the service is far more secure than any other business email platform.

- At the same time as you approve your draft website for publication, we will set up your email account with Google Apps and provide full instructions for gaining access and billing with Google.
- You'll never lose an email - if you email was manager@businessname.com.au, we will create a new email to be the exact match, and test it properly so you'll be up and running seamlessly.
