If you don’t have a website and a custom domain, then use the MX record method. You will see step-by-step instructions to add another method when you choose any method. We are assuming that you are working on a WordPress blog and showing you how to add the HTML code to your WordPress.

Now go back to your G Suite setup and click the box. Then you can enter the MX record entries. You can only add the entries if you have an existing domain. Users who register through Google do not need to add any MX records. If your domain is not connected with Google, your email will go in the domain name area and not to Google. You have to set the right and best MX records in your domain settings so Google can send or receive emails to you. To do this, you have to log in to your hosting account on your domain account.

We will show you to add MX records and the basic concept is the same on all hosts and domain accounts. You will see the DNS settings under your domain settings. Login to your hosting dashboard. On another page, click on the manage button below the DNS editor.

Bluehost will open your DNS editor and go back to your G Suite screen and click on the box. It will show all the MX records that you want to enter. There is a link given from which you can see how to add all the records to all the hosting and domain providers. Now you see the information about your Bluehost account. Click on the “Add record” button, enter the record details and click on save it, and repeat the process to add all MX records.

Once you have added all the MX records, go back to the G Suite setup screen and click on the box that says “I have created all the MX records.” You can also delete existing MX records from your website or domain hosting. To delete an MX record, go back to the DNS editor page and scroll to the records. You will see all the MX records that you created. Then click on the button below to delete any MX records. After that, go back to the G Suite screen and click on the button that you have deleted your records.

In Google admin, you can add or remove users from your domain. Every user has 30 GB of storage and they can all use the same features, but they cannot access the admin console. You can remove or add any new user you want at any time.

Troubleshooting the Domain Setup

It is possible that the web hosting is not using the dashboard like in the screenshots we have shown above. G Suite will give you detailed documentation for many popular web hosting services. Visit the setup MX records page and then find your domain registrar from the list.

If you don’t find your service provider, then you can ask the help community for help with your domain name.
