Signing Up for Google Apps
You can signup for a Google Apps account from any browser window. Much like any other signup process you encounter, Google asks you for pertinent information, like name, address, and so on. Just fill out the forms as prompted. The following steps show you how to signup for Google Apps for Business, but signing up for the other types of Google Apps editions work pretty much the same way.
