Connect Your Domain to Google Workspace

Connect Your Domain to Google Workspace

1. Sign Up for Google Workspace

If you haven’t already:

• Go to: https://workspace.google.com/

• Choose your plan and register with your domain

2. Verify Your Domain with Google

Google provides a TXT record for verification.

🔹 In Plesk:

1. Log in to Plesk

2. Go to Websites & Domains > DNS Settings

3. Click Add Record

4. Choose:

   • Type: TXT

   • Domain: Leave empty or use @

   • TXT record: Paste the value Google gave you (e.g., google-site-verification=xyz...)

5. Click OK, then Update

Wait up to 15 minutes, then click Verify in Google Admin Console.

3. Set Up Gmail (MX Records)

1. In DNS Settings in Plesk, delete any existing MX records

2. Add the following Google MX records:

• Use @ for Domain field in Plesk

• Don’t forget the trailing dots (.) in Mail Server names

Click OK, then Update

4. (Optional but Recommended) Add SPF Record

This helps prevent spoofing:

Type: TXT
Domain: @
TXT record:

5. (Optional) Add DKIM & DMARC

Once mail is working, go to Admin Console > Apps > Gmail > Authenticate Email and follow DKIM setup instructions. You’ll get a CNAME to add in Plesk.

DMARC is another TXT record like:

DNS Propagation

It may take up to 24 hours for email to fully function across the internet, though usually faster.
