Google to stop free version of Google Apps

Thanks. Just came to ask for the original to get around the paywall.

Takeaways:

* Existing free accounts will remain free.

* New accounts will cost $50/user/year. It sounds like this applies to personal domains with only one user as well.

Sensationalist title. The change will not affect individual users, but rather small companies with less than 10 employees using google apps. Now those companies will have to pay $50/user/year.

> The change will not affect individual users

It affects individual users who wish to use their own domain name instead of gmail.com.

Well, that's certainly going to be a huge money grab for them.
