Step 2: Enter Your Domain Name
During setup, Google will ask: “Do you have a domain?”
Choose “Yes, I have one I can use.”
Enter the domain you own (e.g., yourcompany.com) and proceed.
If you don’t have a domain yet, you can register one directly through Google or with popular providers like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Bluehost.
Step 3: Verify Domain Ownership
To prove you own the domain, you’ll need to add a TXT record in your domain’s DNS settings.
Common DNS Hosts:
-
GoDaddy
-
Bluehost
-
HostGator
-
Cloudflare
-
Google Domains
You’ll receive a TXT code from Google (e.g.,
google-site-verification=XYZ123).
Copy it → Log in to your domain provider → Add the record in DNS settings.
After saving, go back to the Google setup page and click “Verify.” It may take a few minutes.
Step 4: Create User Email Accounts
Once verified, you can now create your business email addresses:
You can also add aliases, admin roles, or groups (like team@yourdomain.com).
Step 5: Update MX Records (Mail Exchange)
This step allows Gmail to start receiving emails for your domain.
Log in to your domain provider and replace existing MX records with Google’s:
Once done, click “Activate Gmail” on the setup screen.
🎉 That’s It! You’re Live with Google Workspace
Your domain is now connected. Gmail is ready, and your team can start using the full suite of Google tools.
