How do I configure G Suite with my domain?

To configure G Suite (now Google Workspace) with your domain:

Step 1: Sign up for Google Workspace

  1. Go to workspace.google.com
  2. Click "Get started" and follow the setup process
  3. Enter your domain name when prompted

Step 2: Verify domain ownership

Google will provide you with a verification method. The most common methods are:

  • TXT record verification (recommended)
  • HTML file upload
  • Meta tag verification

For TXT record verification:

  1. Log in to cp.amicatek.link
  2. Go to Manage HostingManage
  3. Select Zone Editor
  4. Add a new TXT record with the verification string provided by Google

Step 3: Set up MX records

Add the following MX records in your DNS zone:

Priority Mail 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

Step 4: Configure additional services (optional)

You may also want to add these CNAME records for additional Google services:

  • calendar → ghs.googlehosted.com
  • drive → ghs.googlehosted.com
  • sites → ghs.googlehosted.com
Note: DNS changes can take up to 24-48 hours to propagate. Google Workspace email may not work immediately after configuration.

Verification

Once configured, you can verify your setup by:

  • Checking your domain verification status in Google Admin Console
  • Sending a test email to your new Google Workspace email address
  • Using Google's MX record checker
