Google Apps, Google Suite, "G Suite", and most recently named Google Workspace, call it what you will! Google's business-level email service is very popular and that's why we make it very easy to link your domain name to their service.
Step 1: You are paying for Google Workspace or you're about to signup as a paying customer

Please note this guide is for Google's paid service, that's targeted at businesses & freelancers. Pricing starts from ~€5 / $6 / £4 per month. If you don't know whether you're paying for their service, and you don't want to start paying for it, this is probably the wrong guide for you. You should check with the relevant technical person in your organisation, the IT manager/consultant responsible for your email service or maybe a web developer who advises you on such things.

The person who signed up for Google Workspace will have access to https://admin.google.com/ which is the admin panel for Google Workspace accounts only. If you cannot login there, you should not proceed with this guide.

If you have Google's free service, which is just Gmail as opposed to Workspace, you probably want to look at this guide instead: Setup your regular email address in Gmail - Maxer

Step 2: Setup the appropriate technical records

To link your domain name to Google Workspace, and start using their service to receive emails, you must setup the MX (mail exchange) records on your hosting service. This guide is presuming you have a Shared or Enterprise hosting plan with Maxer Host, or at a minimum you have our "cPanel for Domain Forwarding" service. If you don't have any hosting service, you can order one here.

  1. Login to cPanel control panel for your website.
    Simply add /cpanel to your website address and this will bring up the cPanel login page (e.g. yourdomain.tld/cpanel).
  2. Navigate to the "Email" category and choose "Remote MX Wizard".
  3. Choose the appropriate domain name from the dropdown list and then click on the blue button "Continue & Configure the domain with Google Workspace"

The wizard will take a few minutes to create all the DNS records for you. It will save a lot of time, so you don't need to manually create each record.

Step 3: Proceed with setup/verification on Google Workspace

You need to verify/setup the domain name on your Google Workspace admin account at https://admin.google.com/u/0/ac/signup/setup/v2/welcome

Typically, you can send and receive messages at your new Google Workspace email address in less than 4 hours, but it can sometimes take up to 72 hours.

We offer live chat (with a real human!) on our website www.maxer.com if you'd like us to go through these steps with you.
