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

@ar_aubry there's always a catch.

@ar_aubry That's a very reasonable price and simple pricing model. You may want to consider being more upfront about the price. "Free" is always scarier to me than paying a few bucks a month.

@benguedj Hi Benjamin, I'm always in the market for a newer easier to use email app but I'm not clear on why you're going to give me something better than Newton, or the Gmail app. For example, looking better is no longer enough - and I don't have a problem with sending email via Gmail or Newton. Do you guys have any more info that sells your product?

@chrismessina @ar_aubry i can only assume the catch is that they now own the domain that you originally wanted and could have purchased for $10 yourself. No? I mean, if they're 'registering the domain' behind the scene, they now own that name. I'd assume that if you don't keep paying them, then they stop forwarding emails to your original gmail account. Just a guess.

@benguedj @_jacksmith So instead of a domain that points to Google's mail server it points to your mail server? How is it 'linked' to my Gmail? I have G-Suite mail for my domain - how is your service different / better (apart from price - I can spare $5 / mo for business email). Thanks.

@blairrorani @benguedj google apps is mainly for having multiple users on a domain; you can manage permissions, share stuff etc etc. this just adds an email address to your normal gmail account without the extras like managing users on a domain etc

@kleneway @ar_aubry agree. Saw it, liked the idea, couldnt find the pricing, closed it and assumed it would be one of those services that would become mega expensive later on. Luckily I saw your pot here. Love the concept here, but why not make the pricing super transparent, since its so reasonable.
