This document provides instructions for setting up Google Apps for a custom domain, including choosing a domain registrar, signing up for Google Apps, and configuring DNS records. Key steps include selecting a registrar that offers full DNS control, getting a CNAME verification record from Google Apps, and adding MX and CNAME records to the DNS to direct email and other services to Google's servers. Once completed, the custom domain can be used for email and other Google Apps services.
How Can I Set Up Google Apps For My Own Domain
- 1. How To Set Up Google Apps For Your Domain (Standard Edition) http://google.com/a
- 2. Domain / Email / DNS ● 3 separate things ● Domain = domain registrar ● DNS = dns provider ● Email = email hosting ● Don't throw all eggs in one basket! ● Try to keep at least domain & dns seperate => Registering a domain through Google not recommended (they don't offer .nz)
- 3. 1. Choose a domain registrar ● Use a registrar with full DNS control ● Watch out for the “shady” ones ● Some offer setup services for Google Apps (Name.com, Dreamhost, iWantMyName)
- 4. 2. Signup Google Apps ● Sign up with Google (Standard Edition for up to 50 Users) ● Use a Google Apps reseller, e.g. WaveAdept if you need more users ● Get the CNAME verification record or html file to upload => Preferred method should be CNAME
- 8. 3. Configure your domain (DNS) ● CNAME verification record ● MX records (Mailserver) ● mail.google.com, docs.google.com, etc. => ghs.google.com (optional)
- 11. Done! ● You can now use email on your own domain ● Subdomains mail.domain.com, docs.domain.com, calendar.domain.com still need to be configured in Google Apps dashboard ● Migrate email: http://yippiemove.com ● Alternative to Google Apps: Zoho Business (can be used as backup)
