The mail service from Google allows you to send emails using your unique domain name.
NOTE: Before proceeding with DNS configuration, make sure to order a Google Workspace subscription and pass ownership validation for your domain.
NOTE: Customers who subscribe to Google Workspace after April 2023 use one MX record. It has no impact on mail delivery or reliability. You can set Google Workspace MX records manually by following the next steps:
1. Log in to your cPanel account >> Zone Editor menu:
2. Click the Manage button next to the domain whose DNS zone you would like to edit:
3. Switch to the MX tab and delete the existing MX records by clicking Delete next to the record:
4. Add the following Google MX record using the +Add Record button:
| Priority | Value |
|---|
| 1 | SMTP.GOOGLE.COM |
5. Next, go to the Email section in cPanel >> Email Routing menu:
Make sure the required domain or subdomain is selected and set Email Routing to Remote Mail Exchanger >> click Change:
Wait 20-30 minutes for the new records to propagate and then test your mail service.
Adding SPF and DKIM is important to prevent emails from going into recipients' spam folders.
You can prevent this by adding this SPF record as
TXT:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|
| TXT | yourexample.xyz | v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all |
DKIM record for the Google Workspace email service can be generated in the admin panel as shown
here.
2. Scroll down to the
Custom URLs option:
3. Locate the
Gmail section, switch to the
custom option, specify the desired subdomain, and click
Save to confirm the change:
From now on, you will be able to access your email accounts using the
http://webmail.domain.com link.
If you wish to use another subdomain for mail access, make sure that you create the corresponding subdomain in the Zone Editor menu in cPanel and add a CNAME record with the following value – ghs.googlehosted.com:
That's it!
