Gmail lists instructions for a few registrars.īasically, you need to add Gmail's MX records to the domain's MX records list. Check if your registrar let you do this.Īfter the domain ownership has been verified, you need to change the MX records (Mail Exchange). I use GoDaddy to register my domain names and they let you tweak the domain settings using their Total DNS Control Panel. That will involve either putting a text file in the root directory of your Website or adding a CNAME. Point your browser to do a little reading and discover what is Google Apps.įollow the steps that let Google verify that you really own the domain name. So what if you have a simple Exchange setup with just a few users? You can prey that you server will never go down and you can plan the reboots after the critical updates installs on Sunday mornings.īut why not leverage Gmail itself? Yep, why not use Google's Gmail as the backup email server? Sounds wacky? It is but it works AND it's free!!!įirst, you must have access to the domain's DNS entries because you'll have to modify them. Let's face it, if you're a small shop, building a redundant Exchange infrastructure is way too hard and way too expensive.
