Is there an equivalent of Microsoft’s Home Use Program (HUP) for Google Workspace?

HUP gets you Microsoft 365 (Office apps, OneDrive, ad-free email with a 50GB quota and one custom domain) for your family, with 30% off list price for people using Microsoft solutions at work — which is most office workers, assuming their employers have opted in.

It’d be nice to see something similar from Google.

The 365 Family plan is $99/year, total (not per person), for up to 6 people, and you can use your own domain.

Funny.. I was apparently already paying for this and never knew it came with email. Too bad there is a 6 person hard limit as I need 7 accounts.

Just tested a bit and it looks like only domains with DNS hosted by Godaddy work with this.

That's supposedly just a marketing thing. It doesn't have to be Godaddy.

The process is a little convoluted: https://www.reddit.com/r/Office365/comments/ft15pk/use_perso...
