This happened because I changed the connection between the godaddy situated domain and the bluehost hosted site from being linked by nameservers to being linked with an A record. This way, only my actual site is dependant on bluehost. Email sticks with google and godaddy, two rather more reliable companies.

Setting up google apps was really easy actually. I simply had to add a Cname redirect to them in the advanced domain manager at godaddy, and add a couple of rules for email redirection.

Now I just wish that google apps had google reader attached to it so i could mover everything away from [old google account] to adam at [this domain]. It would annoy me to have my email, calendar and docs in one place (apps) which didn’t function as a proper google account in other ways. Does anyone know a bit more about how that works?
