Simply turning it off is going to leave a lot of non-technical people who had this setup for them very frustrated.

Exactly. I mainly used email for my domains, but I can'speak for the 2nd user. I have the small setup for my friend to use his domain.

What happens if I turn Gsuite off and still use the custom domain for email?

Oh that's said. I've got an email today. I am now looking at other alternative. Do you know any self-hosted suite and/or better way? Thanks a lot.

PS: I used to be fan of zoho.com but I also gave that up.

I got an e-mail today too. Seems the news first broke five or six days ago (or hit HN anyway).
