Hybrid setup
Why pay premium for every user? Save money!
Use Google Workspace for key users, host others affordably with Canagon professional email hosting.
Why Hybrid?
Businesses often face budget constraints—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.
Already using Google Workspace and feel like you're paying too much?
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.

Frequently asked questions
How do you access my Google Workspace as a reseller?
We request secure admin access through delegation—no password sharing, and you remain the account owner. Ideally, you transfer your subscription to Canagon at no extra cost.
Pricing stays the same as with Google, but you gain extra benefits like more flexible payment options, and direct technical support from our team. Access can be removed anytime.
Is it safe to use Hybrid setup?
Yes, when configured properly, a hybrid setup is safe. Email is routed securely, and standard protections like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC still apply. We ensure proper delivery and security settings on both sides.
Is this officially supported by Google Workspace's policies?
Can you set up a Google Workspace hybrid if I don’t want to host emails with Canagon?
Yes, but the setup fee will be higher. First we’ll need a highly-technical consultation with your email provider’s tech support team (not sales), as not all providers or Mail Transfer Agents support this type of setup. Key technical details must be confirmed before deployment to ensure compatibility.
