Gmail used to do that for free, and if you signed your domain up, you're grandfathered in (I have a few domains still like that).

They don't do it for free anymore, and their mail hosting for new accounts is surprisingly expensive (though I suppose most things are, when you're used to getting them for free).

I think you're talking about GSuite users. They are not free. Regular GMail can send mail as another account you prove ownership of. (For free)

Disregard the comments saying that gmail aliases are no longer free. That is simply untrue.

Parent is not advocating for the use of Google’s G Suite. G Suite is indeed no longer free, but that’s irrelevant. Grandparent was using namecheap’s mail redirect. At no point were the parents suggesting the use of G Suite.

Not anymore. Only if it’s a Google Apps domain.

I didn't know this, thanks for pointing it out.
