In this article we are going to explain how To Configure Your MX Records to point to Gmail ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inorder to use gmail as your primary email provider for your business web site, you’re needed to induce registered with Google Apps. Once done, you need to build amendments to the MX records set for your web site inorder to use Gmail for business communications.<\/p>\n

If you utilize any of our Linux based mostly low cost hosting servers with a cPanel, you\u2019d find choice titled \u2018MX Entry\u2018 within the panel. From there, you’ll clear all the MX record entries and populate them with the Google Apps Mail MX records as listed below :<\/p>\n

Following could be a stepwise procedure to change MX Records and point them to Google Mail :<\/p>\n

Step 1: In cPanel look for the choice MX Entry<\/strong> and click on it<\/p>\n

Step 2 : Choose Remote Mail Exchanger<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 3 : Press the Change<\/strong> button<\/p>\n

Step 4: Within the \u2018Add New Record<\/strong>\u2018 space you need to make the subsequent entries with the stated priorities<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
MX Records<\/strong><\/td>\nPriority<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM<\/td>\n7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<\/table>\n

Thus the above steps concluded with the configuration of MX records to point to Google. It’s going to take 24-48 hours for the propagation.<\/p>\n
