How To Set Up Google Apps ForYour Domain (Standard Edition)
http://google.com/a
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)
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)
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
Verify domain ownership
Verify domain ownership
Google verification code
3. Configure your domain (DNS)
● CNAME verification record● MX records (Mailserver)
● mail.google.com, docs.google.com, etc.
=> ghs.google.com (optional)
Complete Apps Setup
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)
