Hybrid setup
Why pay premium for every user?
Use Google Workspace for key users, and host others affordably with Canagon’s Business email.
Why Hybrid?
Providing full Google Workspace for all employees can become expensive. Google charges a per-user fee that adds up quickly.
A hybrid setup means you only pay Google for key users who need it. Save money, stay flexible, and stay in control of your budget.
Paying too much for Google Workspace?
If only a few team members need advanced Google features, paying for everyone is wasteful. A hybrid setup is a more cost-effective solution—you pay premium only for key users who need it, with the option to upgrade or downgrade users anytime.
Other users move to affordable email hosting from Canagon. Stay on the same domain, no disruption, no downtime, full control.
Can’t afford a full upgrade but need more features?
Upgrading all users to a higher Google Workspace plan can double your monthly costs. With a Hybrid setup, you decide on users who need advanced features and keep upgrading only these users.
Other users move to affordable email hosting from Canagon—stay on the same domain, no disruption, no downtime, full control.
Use Google Workspace + Microsoft 365 together
A hybrid setup lets Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 coexist in one company. You can keep some mailboxes in Google, and others in Microsoft 365. Each user can use the tools that fit best, while your company keeps one domain and email address format. This is good for companies that need features from both platforms or want to move in steps, not all at once.
If you already use Microsoft 365, you can add Google Workspace for some users. If you use Google Workspace, you can move some users to Microsoft 365.
All users keep the same email address, no matter where their mailbox is.
Our team can help set this up, migrate data, and manage both systems.
How Hybrid setup works
Google’s mail server will receive all email. Delivery is then routed to Google Workspace or our server based on user settings and rules.
Special setup is required to get this right. Canagon has years of experience making it seamless, reliable, and fully functional from day one.

Is it safe to use Hybrid setup?

Is this officially supported by Google's policies?
Yes. Setting up a hybrid email configuration with Google Workspace is supported and aligns with Google’s policies.
