As an administrator of different sites on Google Apps I tend to have an account of every domain that I manage and it's hard to jump and open every single webmail accounts separately. This is a feature on GMail in which all email accounts that is hosted on Google Apps and GMail can be combined into a single inbox and retaining the ability to send emails using the same email address.

On GMail or Google Apps login to the account to be configured for forwarding

On the main page of the email account click on settings


Under Settings Page select Forwarding and POP/IMAP then select the option on Forward a copy of the mail to: then enter the GMail account in which the account willbe forwarded then click on Save Changes.



Now go to your Gmail account or Google Apps account then login


On the main page click on Settings


Under Settings click on Accounts and Import then click on the Tab Send mail from another address



A pop up window will show up then enter the required information then click onthe Tab Next Step


Selectthe option on Send through Gmail (easier to setup) then click on Next step


On this window click on send verification. This will send a verification code to the account to be joined



On this window the code needs to be entered that would come from the account to be joined


Now login to the account to be joined and get the verification code. Once you have the confirmation code copy and paste it on the code verification window then click on Verify.

The account has been added on your existing GMail or Google Apps inbox. One way to check is click on the down arrow at the end of the from portion of the email window. The account should appear on the drop down list

what is bkhost premium dns?

Free DNS
If you've got a tiny personal website for something like holiday photos to share with friends and family, and you don't expect it to grow and don't care about uptime, free hosting is the right choice for you. There's no shortage of free DNS hosting providers to choose from, and each has a variety of different features. Some come equipped with firewall policies, filtering, and rate limiting and blocking to help prevent DDoS attacks. The majority of free services include facilities to manage the records of your domain zone and typically offer Dynamic DNS.
If yours is a casual site or simply something you are doing for fun and it's not the end of the world if the site is down for a couple of days, free DNS services should work for you. On the other hand, if it's a commercial site that is driving your whole business, then you should choose a service that will safeguard your site with better support and uptime. These are the key differences between opting for free DNS and going for a premium service.
Premium DNS
Every commercial website should use premium DNS to guarantee they are both safe and available to their customers. There are distinct advantages of paying for a DNS: improved site availability, faster performance, and minimal security gaps.
Premium DNS involves pointing your domain to premium nameservers and setting up your records on these nameservers.
These are the typical features you should expect from premium DNS services:
  • Many premium DNS service providers offer Dynamic DNS (DDNS). DDNS automatically maps internet domain names to IP addresses, allowing you to access your home computer from anywhere in the world. Unlike standard DNS, which only works with static DNS, DDNS is designed to work with changing IP addresses, which is a good fit for home networks.
  • Secondary DNS - This premium feature is particularly useful if you manage your nameservers and want a backup or redundancy. A secondary nameserver will ensure that your domain never goes offline.
  • Management interface - A well-configured DNS dashboard lets you manage and make updates to your DNS easily online, instead of going through customer services to redirect your DNS using different record types, for example.
  • Reporting - Advanced reporting is available with premium services, including analytics that report the source country and record type for queried hostnames.
  • Administrative Control - Admin controls let you delegate administrator privileges with ease.
  • Two-way authentication - Protect your domain with two-factor login authentication.
  • DNS templates - Save time by applying DNS templates to the domain names in your Premium DNS Dashboard. This is useful if you are managing multiple websites.
  • Fast Performance - Redundancy - Guaranteed service level agreement for DNS resolution between 99-100% with paid DNS plans.
  • Queries per month - Premium DNS services guarantee domain resolution on millions of queries per month.
  • Close security gaps - Hackers can use your IP address to point to a malicious IP address to trick users into divulging important information and sometimes even money. Premium DNS hosting provides an additional layer of security for your website and thus additional protection from hackers.
  • DNSSEC support - Increase your domain name security with managed DNSSEC. Premium nameservers provide support and security for top level domains to protect them from attacks. Hackers have been known to infiltrate the DNS lookup process, directing users to deceptive sites for password and account collection, for example. DNSSEC is employed to protect domains from any vulnerabilities in the DNS system.
  • First-class customer service. DNS can get a bit tricky, so having professional support as and when you need it is invaluable to a smooth running website.
  • It is easy to use. Experts and beginners will find the interface for managing their nameservers simple to navigate.
Paid DNS services offer advanced features to manage your DNS, combined with a higher level of support and faster loading times. If you want super fast IP address resolution, you need a premium nameserver.
The fact of the matter is, extremely quick websites leave a good impression. People are impatient online. If you can shave a few milliseconds off the time it takes for people to discover your site via DNS, you might see some marginal gains.
Fast speeds aren't only to impress your site visitors; you'll want to impress Google with your site's loading and availability. If your site loading times aren't up to scratch, your search engine rankings and subsequent click rates could take a hit (DNS capabilities make up a huge part of site load times).

can i open a gmail account and still make people believe it is coming from my old email address

In a way, yes. Once you open up your gmail account, go to Mail Settings *under the gear in the upper-right corner*, then go to Accounts and Settings, and click the button "send mail as another account." It will go through a process where it sends an email to the other address and you need to verify it, then you can send emails and have them appear as the other address.
Just remember: when you compose the email you need to change the Send From field to reflect the address you desire the recipient to see.
Hope this helps!

Ok im the system admin on my computer but it keeps telling me that im not system admin

It's a bit of a read

Passwords add a level of security to your computer. When sharing a computer with others, your customized settings, computer programs, and system resources are more secure when you assign a password to your logon name or user account name. The steps to perform this task differ depending on whether your computer is a member of a network domain or is part of a workgroup (or is a stand-alone computer). My computer is on a domain You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure. Open User Accounts in Control Panel. On the Users tab, click the name of the user whose password you want to change, and then click Reset Password. In New password and Confirm new password, type the new password, and then click OK. Notes You can change passwords only for local computer accounts, such as guest, administrator, or accounts you create for your computer. You cannot change your network logon password in User Accounts. To change your own password, press CTRL ALT DELETE and then click Change Password. My computer is not on a domain If no password has been assigned to the user's account, a password will need to be created before it can be changed. For information about creating a password, click Related Topics. The steps to perform this task differ depending on the type of user account you have. If you have a computer administrator account Open User Accounts in Control Panel. Click your account name. Click Change my password. In Type your current password, type your current password. In Type a new password and Type the new password again to confirm, type your new password.
