Hi Guys! 💥 Remember us? We launched Nuage 3 months ago. After working on the domain names for the pasts months, we’ve gathered a lot of feedbacks from more than 20.000 domains. We all want a custom email address that reflects our identity, instead of this very common “@ gmail.com”. There is no simple way to do it. Today, we’re introducing Nuage Email. The easiest way to create a custom email, directly linked to your Gmail account. You just pick a name, we do all the hard work. Instant setup, we don’t touch your existing account. No needs to change your habits. Today we decided to offer you unlimited emails, for free. Cool, huh? 😎 Go ahead and come talk with us, and feel free to ask us any question. We’d love to hear from you.

@benguedj what's actually involved with your tool? it's unclear what changes you're making. during the sign up process you just ask my to auth my gmail account without saying what will happen. i already have my domain emails setup with gmail, but can't remember the steps involved. maybe some mx settings, or forwarding to gmail and then confirming as an additional address nuage has a great simple design btw

@_jacksmith Our first case is to create domain name + email for people. We register the domain, create a redirection and provide you for free a SMTP server in just few clicks. For people who have already a domain, we will provide MX servers and create redirections for you so you can get emails instantly.

@benguedj This is a really interesting idea. If I understand correctly, you are registering the domains behind the scenes. How are you able to provide unlimited email addresses for free? And will you be auto-renewing them indefinitely? I would love to understand more about what the monetization plan is.

@kleneway Hey Kevin, you can create unlimited email addresses, which will be free for the first year :-). After the first year, if you have a lot of emails, we will give you a discount.

@benguedj Really cool product! But I'd love to have a clearer explanation on the pricing model :) I've just signed up, but I haven't been able to find any pricing explanation. @kleneway

Cool service and nice design but poor execution. The homepage doesn't explain anything that's going to happen. You don't set any expectations. When you're dealing with something as important as somebody's email and domain you need to be more explicit. - How is this being accomplished? - What needs to happen for it to be setup? - What will happen to my gmail/domain? - Do I still own the domain? - How much will this cost now? - How much will this cost in the future? - What type of support is provided? - Do you have access to my email/domiain? It's making a big assumption that I'm going to give you full access to my Google account before having all of these questions answered.

@livejamie Hey Jamie. Thanks for your feedback . In order to be as precise as I can, I'll answer point by point 😁 - If you already don't already own the domain, the domain is registered for you, and we create the email address, and connect it to your Gmail. - You'll receive an email on your new email with the instruction to setup the STMP in order to be able to send email from your new address. - Nothing happens to your Gmail, it says the same. You do own the domain and have full control on it. - In the future it'll cost $2/month per email. But as part of the PH community, the first year is free. - As for the support, we're using Intercom, and our support answer as fast as possible. - We obviously do not have access to your email /domain, except the access required for the setup. Your privacy remains safe. I understand your concern, and we are still working on the clarity of our message. Comments like yours help us improve. By the way, we do not require full access to your Gmail account, and never access/read your emails 😁

@tsnkff I appreciate the response. :) I wasn't technically asking the questions for myself just thinking of things you'd want to clarify on your homepage in order to communicate your message and be more effective. Best of luck! I've always enjoyed your main product.

@tsnkff @livejamie You are also offering the registered domain for free. Even if it's for an year, that's a great proposition. You may want to highlight these nuances also. After an year of free usage, are you going to restrict the user from moving to another SP if they prefer to?

@tsnkff agreed with @livejamie comments. The above should be either on the homepage, or an FAQ page that explains how it works. I landed on your homepage and bounced back here because I wasn't sure if/how it will solve my problem and I do have this problem.

@livejamie @tsnkff well on the point of privacy it depends if you consider Gmail safe which is questionable. Will you offer the ability to forward to other systems which are NOT Gmail? that would be much more interesting... like normal domains [non live.com, non outlook.com, non gmail.com, non yahoo.com etc]

@ourielohayon So you did register your domain name from a registrar, order a pack of email from the same registrar, then you configured everything in your gmail manually. We do the same thing instantly.

Wow, it seems like a dream product here 😺 And onboarding is super smooth, congrats on making it guys 👏 My question is : what's the monetization behind? How much do you charge for it? 🤔

Report

@matthieudeluze Thank's for these nice words. We give you unlimited free emails for a year during our producthunt campain, otherwise we charge $2 per month per email, no engagement you can create and cancel anytime you want.

@ar_aubry Alright thanks for your super fast answers, that's a good deal 👌 I suggest maybe you should add some details to make it more clear what are the $2 fee for when checking out in the registration process but that's also part of the game I think 😸

@matthieudeluze we want to be super transparent, but I guess it's not that clear. In fact to create a redirection on your gmail address, we need some setup in our smtp servers, which obviously has a price. The whole point is flexibility, you pay what you get and you stop when you want.

@ar_aubry The $2 fee wasn't entirely clear to me as well during setup. I saw the strikeout text; however wasn't sure if that was per domain, per month, etc. Was about to ask here until I found this comment. (In addition to hosts that provide this) DNSIMPLE also provides email forwarding for $2/mo and was thinking about using it with my ISNIC domain email. Nuage may be the easier option to opt for. Do PHers get a bump on the waitlist? #mightaswellask

This looks great! One of the interesting problems I've run into using G Suite for a personal email address is that many features that Google pushes out are not initially available. Once they are available, you usually need to opt into them individually. For example: - You couldn't use Inbox by Gmail at launch. - Certain features offered by Google Assistant are not available with a G Suite account. - You cannot use Google Fi with a G Suite account. Apparently this is coming soon, but I would expect the integration to be somewhat limited. See the point below. - You have to individually whitelist Apps in two places before you're able to download them via Play Store (beta) on a Chromebook. I'm sure the list is larger than that. Maybe other members of the community can chime in on the restrictions that cause them trouble from time to time. How does Nuage Email get around these restrictions? What if I use Inbox, Spark, or even the native iOS email client for my email? Lastly, is there an easy way to switch over to Nuage Email from G Suite?

@badhairday Nuage is just an alias: https://support.google.com/mail/... Inbox, Spark, the Gmail app etc. all supports aliases. The native iOS app doesn't, unless there is an hack/workaround that I don't know :)

@emilstahl @badhairday Hey Michael and Emil ! I'm totally agree with you and that's why we redirect the mail to your Gmail like this you are free to setup your gmail inbox anywhere you want. This is not just an alias, we provide you the domain name with the correct DNS setup. We want to remove the pain of the setup and provide all the package: domain + mail for no-technical people.

@benguedj In regards to how it works compared to G Suite (Google Apps), yes it is just an (domain) alias.

Alternatively, just buy your own domain for 10 bucks and then set up Gmail for $5/month. That way you actually own your domain and control your mail. And, Google will also supply you with serious drive space and the google office suite. A far better deal, and well documented.

@andreasduess more than twice the price for an overkill solution. We do provide domain name accredited by ICANN from our Gandi reseller program but we leave you the opportunity to bring your own if you already registered it. GSuite is very nice but a little bit overkill for most of us, and it is $5 per month per email. With Nuage you still use your actual gmail so you can still enjoy how great it is with just what you need on top, a custom email.

@cliffdailey When you register your domain through Nuage, you own your domain, Gandi handle the technical side and we do handle the administrative part. It means that you talk to us but you can do whatever you want with it :)

@ar_aubry @cliffdailey With some tech knowledge, you can buy a domain (~$10) and use Mailgun (10,000 emails/month for free) to forward/send from Gmail over smtp.

Could you explain how it works? I entered an email that I want. Let's say donald@trump.crap. What's next? It says that this email exists and I should press on a link if it is mine

@matveyich We will soon get back to you to create redirection on top of your gmail. Basically we use our own smtp stack to provide you these redirections removing you the pain of the setup and the need to buy it. Obviously if you want to make a redirection from trump.crap, you would need to own this domain at some point. Nuage can provides you the domain (www.nuageapp.com) but you can bring it with you if you already registered it.
