Add DNS records for GSuite/Workspace Account domains - Buy Workspace GSuite Legacy Account

After setting up your account, first thing you need to do is to add DNS records ( MX, SPF and DKIM ) to the DNS configuration of your domain name so that you don’t miss emails or face difficulty in landing your emails in receiving INBOX.

These records are important and needs to be added to the PRIMARY DOMAIN NAME as well as any DOMAIN you add in the account.

MX and SPF records are same for each domain name so they can be added to all the domain names, while DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail) are unique to each domain and are needed to be generated for each domain name separately.

MX Records

You must remove existing MX records before adding these.

Name/Host/Alias	Time to Live (TTL*)	Record Type	Priority	Value/Answer/Destination
@ or Blank	3600	MX	1	ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
@ or Blank	3600	MX	5	ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
@ or Blank	3600	MX	5	ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
@ or Blank	3600	MX	10	ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
@ or Blank	3600	MX	10	ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

If your host does not allow to use @, you can use domain name as host name.
