Asking you whether you have a domain Name already set up for your business so If you do then you click the yes and That will take you through to verify That you actually own that domain name And that's the process we're going to go Through in this video but if you don't Have a domain name then you can click no I need one and then Google workspace Will take you through purchasing a Domain name that suits your business There is additional cost to that as well So if you follow that process Just be aware there is an additional Cost for the domain name as well on top Of the Google workspace monthly cost I'm Just going to click yes I have one I can Use then all you need to do type the Domain name in here then it's just Asking you to confirm that is the domain Name of the account you want setting up But all you need to do is Click next you Can opt out of this one and this is Going to be the business email address That you're setting up for yourself so Choose something that you will be using For your business email address Choose a password then click the Recapture And then click agree and continue And then once you've done that all you Need to do is enter your password and Login to your Google workspace account Then you may need to verify your account
So you can go ahead and do that and once You're through the verification process You'll then see this screen so you just Need to agree to Google's terms and Conditions let's go click on I Understand and then it's going to ask You to review your payment plan so you Just review that and then click next and Then just go through the checkout Process for paying for your account then Once you've been through all that you'll Now see this screen to let you know that Your Google workspace account has been Created all you need to do then is click On the continue to setup button and now We need to sign in to continue to our Admin console so we just need to put our Email address in that we've just set up And then once you've done that hit the Next button right down here that's thing Going to ask you for your password so Enter your password and continue So now we've logged into the admin Console of our Google workspace account We get this little welcome message and All you need to do is Click next right Here and here Google workspace will take You through A process to get your workspace set up Correctly so as you can see this setup Processes broken up into three parts so Part one is to protect your site by Verifying your domain with Google Workspace then if you click next part
Two is to create other Google workspace Accounts if you need them and then after That you can activate Gmail for your Domain name and your business But as we said the first step is Verifying our domain name so to do that All we need to do is click the little Blue protect link right there and this Message right here is just talking us Through how to verify our domain name so All we need to do is press I'm ready to Protect my domain so now Google Workspace is going to take us through The process of verifying the domain and The first thing it's asking us to do is To open up Bluehost and manage some of Our DNS settings so this is going to Verify our domain name through DNS Records to do that we're going to head To Bluehost we're going to go to manage And then DNS I'm going to head to the Hosting dashboard in Bluehost So now I'm on the Bluehost hosting Dashboard just need to head to domains Here and click on my domains and now Under this domain right here I'm just Going to click on manage and now we're Managing this domain right here which You can see there's a DNS tab right There I'm just going to click on that And now that shows us our DNS manager so We can head back to the page in Google Workspace as it says here go to step two To add the verification record so we're
Just going to click next to go to step Two we all need to do right here is add A text record with the following code in The text value and make sure that we Have these settings set up as well so We're just going to go to our Bluehost Portal on our DNS manager right here we Just want to scroll to the text records So here we can see our text records I'm going to add a record in here so our Host record right here is at Text value right here we just go back to Google workspace we copy that right There so let's copy that to clipboard And then we're going to add it into our Text value right here back in our Hosting dashboard and our TTL right here If we go back to Google workspace we can See four hours is what it says right There so we're just going to change that On our host dashboard to four hours and Then click on Save that's updated that Record right there Foreign if we go back to Google Workspace we can now uh final step right Here is to click on protect domain and This may take a couple of minutes so I'm Going to jump ahead once this is Verified so now we've done our first Step and we've verified our domain name For our Google workspace we're going to Skip step two because we don't have any Other users that we're going to add to This workspace we're going to go ahead
And go to step three which is to Activate email for our domain name and Our email address so all we need to do Is click the activate button right here And then we just get this little pop-up Just saying that before we begin are all The existing email addresses added to Our Google workspace but after you've Had given that a read and you're ready To move forward just click I'm ready to Activate Gmail and just like how we Verified our domain name we're going to Now add some more records to our DNS Records to help Google workspace manage Our email for the domain name for our Business so again there are a couple of Steps here we need to take one is to Open up our DNS manager in Bluehost so You can follow this link right here or I've already got the DNS manager open From when we verified our domain with Google workspace so I'm just going to Open that so now we're on this section Right here we want to scroll down to our MX records And if we look at Google workspace we Can go to step two and then in this Second step right here what it's asking Us to do is to copy and paste each one Of these records and add it to our Domain MX reticles so if we head back Over to Bluehost we can see right here We've got a MX record that points to Mail dot the domain name that we chose
We're just going to remove that so we're Going to click this button right here Then just click remove Confirm that and then to add in MX Records we're just going to click the Add record And if we scroll down a little bit now We can add in our first MX record so We're just going to go back to Google Workspace so what we're going to do for Each one of these is add in the priority The host record and the point two so Priority is one the host record is at And then we're just going to click that And it copies to the clipboard then Let's add our first MX record in Bluehost so we've got a priority of one Got a host record at 0.2 just paste that in here add the TTL As four then just click save to add that MX record and now we can go ahead and Add in all of the other MX records so We're just going to do that Now we've added all those in we're going To head back to Google workspace Then it says after adding these five Rows then come back and activate email So click this and then this is going to Take a little bit of time to validate The records we've just added to our Domain and you might find that you'll Get an error message like this when You're validating these record changes
And that means that you might need to Give your hosting provider a bit of time For these records to update on their Side before you retry activation on the Google workspace side also it does give You a couple of pointers that their some Records need to be deleted on your Hosting provider's side so you could do That as well and then wait a little bit And then retry the activation again So now we can see that our MX records Are fully updated and that's been Confirmed by our Google workspace Account we can click the Finish button Right here And now we can see that step has now got A Blue Tick next to it we're not going To add any users at this point so we're Going to skip this for now And now we get a confirmation message to Let us know that we're all set up to use Our Google workspace and one of the Things that we can do is send a test Email so if we do that And if we sign into Gmail we can see Right here is our test email that we Sent to test that everything is working With our new email address I really hope You enjoyed this video if you did let us Know in the comments below we read all The comments as well so if you've got Any questions drop one down there as Well and we'll try and help you out if You want to see more videos like this
