Creating company email with gmail

To create a company email with Gmail, you'll need to set up a custom domain and configure Gmail to use it. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Step 1: Register a custom domain

  1. Go to a domain registrar such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains and register a custom domain name (e.g., [yourcompany].com).
  2. Make sure to choose a domain name that is easy to remember, relevant to your business, and available for registration.

Step 2: Set up DNS records

  1. Once you've registered your custom domain, you'll need to set up DNS (Domain Name System) records to point to Google's servers.
  2. You'll need to create the following records:
    • MX records: These records tell the world where to send email for your domain. You'll need to create a few MX records that point to Google's mail servers.
    • TXT records: These records verify that you own the domain and help prevent spam.
    • CNAME records: These records map your domain to Google's servers.

Step 3: Set up Gmail

  1. Go to the Google Admin console and sign in with your Google account.
  2. Click on "Apps" and then "G Suite" (or "Google Workspace" if you're using the latest version).
  3. Click on "Create a new G Suite account" and follow the prompts to set up your account.
  4. Enter your custom domain name and follow the instructions to verify ownership.
  5. Set up your G Suite account by choosing a plan, adding users, and configuring settings.

Step 4: Configure Gmail to use your custom domain

  1. Go to the Google Admin console and click on "Apps" and then "Gmail".
  2. Click on "Settings" and then "Advanced settings".
  3. Scroll down to the "Domain" section and enter your custom domain name.
  4. Click "Save changes" to save your settings.

Step 5: Set up email addresses

  1. Go to the Google Admin console and click on "Users" and then "Add new user".
  2. Enter the email address you want to create (e.g., [username]@yourcompany.com).
  3. Choose a password and set up the user's account.
  4. Repeat this process to create additional email addresses for your team.

Step 6: Verify your domain

  1. Go to the Google Admin console and click on "Apps" and then "G Suite".
  2. Click on "Verify domain" and follow the prompts to verify your domain.
  3. You'll need to upload an HTML file to your website or add a TXT record to your DNS settings.

Step 7: Set up email forwarding

  1. Go to the Google Admin console and click on "Apps" and then "Gmail".
  2. Click on "Settings" and then "Advanced settings".
  3. Scroll down to the "Email forwarding" section and enter the email address you want to forward to (e.g., [username]@yourcompany.com).
  4. Choose the forwarding option (e.g., "Forward to another email address") and enter the email address you want to forward to.
  5. Click "Save changes" to save your settings.

That's it! You should now have a company email with Gmail.
