I'm using Bluehost as my hosting service for my website and domain.

Step 1: Go to www.google.com/a & select Standard Edition
Step 2: Click on Get Started, enter in your domain name and follow the wizard.
Step 3: Go to www.google.com/a/yourdomainname.com . Get the CNAME to verify ownership of your domain and activate Email.

Step 4: Log into your hosting provider Cpanel.
Step 5: Go to DNS Editor, select domain name and Add/ Edit the following CNames:

Name: Unique Google String Cname: google.com
Name: mail Cname: ghs.google.com
Name: sites Cname: ghs.google.com

Step 6: From CPanel go to MX Entry, select domain name & add following MX records w/ following priority:

MX Server address & Priority
ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 10
ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 20
ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM 20
ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM 30
ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM 30
ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM 30

  • Hi dude. Thanks you so much for help us. However I wanna ask you just one thing: Is possible to link my domain dot com with my YouTube account?

  • Very helpful! Thanks.

  • Great Video!

    Perhaps you can show an intro screen in text stating what the purpose of this video is for. Tell us why we want to or need to do this. It makes it easier for the beginner to put the rest of the video into context.

    thx
