Connecting Google Workspace Email to Your Domain
How Can I Connect My Google Workspace Email to My Domain?
To connect your Google Workspace email to your domain, you’ll need to update your domain’s MX records. This process ensures your domain routes all incoming emails through Google’s servers.
Steps to Set Up MX Records in Various DNS Management Systems:
DirectAdmin
Using DirectAdmin:
- Log in to your DirectAdmin panel.
- Navigate to DNS Management, remove existing MX records, and add the Google Workspace MX records.
- Save changes and wait for DNS propagation (24-48 hours).
cPanel
Using cPanel:
- Log into cPanel and navigate to Zone Editor or Email Routing.
- Delete current MX records, then add the Google Workspace MX records.
External/Custom
Using External DNS like ns-1510.ipxcdn.com:
- Log into your DNS provider’s management panel (e.g., ns-1510.ipxcdn.com).
- Delete existing MX records and add Google Workspace MX records. Ensure all Google Workspace MX priorities are correctly set.
What Are Google’s MX Records?
These are the official Google Workspace MX records you need to add to your DNS settings:
- Priority 1: ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
- Priority 5: ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
- Priority 5: ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
- Priority 10: ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
- Priority 10: ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
How Long Does DNS Propagation Take?
Once the MX records are updated, DNS changes can take 24-48 hours to fully propagate across the internet.
