I currently use Bluehost for web and mail hosting. Considering switching to Google for email hosting is on my mind. If I make the change, will the Starter plan allow me to combine my three emails under one personal domain or do I need separate accounts? Should I retain the domain with Bluehost or transfer it to Google? Could there be advantages to doing so?

I’m committed to using Bluehost’s email service for the next 18 months and wonder if I can continue that while using Workspace for my emails. Thanks for your assistance!

The solutions you receive are likely influenced by the current contract terms and possibly related regulations concerning privacy, security, and mail hosting.
It’s important to clearly define your objectives and any particular needs.
Draw a basic diagram representing the existing web and mail hosting setup – this is the "current" state.
Then create another diagram illustrating the desired or required configuration – the "Workspace future".
Detail the exact actions needed to transition from the present to the planned version.
Be aware of restrictions such as Bluehost’s lock-in, which may require paying a penalty to exit.
In summary, reach out to Google, Bluehost, and Workspace as needed.
Address your queries directly and record each provider’s reply.
Regarding advantages, there could be some gains, but you decide what matters most.
Expect possible compromises, like increased expenses or limitations.
