How to Set Up Google Workspace for Your Domain
What is Google Workspace and How Does it Benefit Your Business?
Google Workspace is Google’s alternative to Microsoft 365, offering a suite of productivity apps designed for business use. It allows teams to collaborate and manage their work in a streamlined environment.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to change your MX records to ensure that Google Workspace (Gmail) handles all email traffic for your domain. As these records may change in the future, make sure to acquire the latest MX records from Google.
Due to the nature of DNS propagation, it’s possible that Google Workspace won’t work immediately after setup. Please wait a few hours before contacting support if you don’t see any changes.
