To use Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) for emails (like info@example.com), follow these steps:
???? Step 1: Log in to DNS Manager
-
If your domain is registered with Netpoa, log in to your domain control panel.
-
Or use your hosting provider's DNS Zone Editor in cPanel.
⚙️ Step 2: Delete Old MX Records
-
Find the section for MX Records
-
Delete any existing records (e.g., pointing to your old server)
???? Step 3: Add Google MX Records
| Priority | Server |
|---|---|
| 1 | ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| 5 | ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| 5 | ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| 10 | ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| 10 | ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
Ensure TTL is set to 3600 (or default).
???? Step 4: Add SPF, DKIM, and DMARC (Optional but Recommended)
-
SPF:
Add a TXT record:v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all -
DKIM:
Set up from within your Google Admin Console -
DMARC:
Example TXT record:_dmarc.example.com→v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:you@example.com
✅ Step 5: Wait for DNS Propagation
-
Changes may take 15 minutes to 24 hours to take effect.
