To use Gmail as your primary email provider for your business website, you must first register with Google Apps. Afterward, update the MX records for your website to enable Gmail for business communications.
If you’re using one of our Linux-based cheap hosting UK servers with cPanel, you will find an option called ‘MX Entry’ in the panel. From there, you can remove existing MX records and add the Google Apps Mail MX records listed below.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to change MX records and point them to Google Mail:
- In cPanel look for the option MX Entry and click it
- Select Remote Mail Exchanger
- Hit the Change button
- In the ‘Add New Record’ area you must make the following entries with the stated priorities :
| MX Records | Priority |
| ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM | 1 |
| ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM | 2 |
| ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM | 3 |
| ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM | 4 |
| ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM | 5 |
| ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM | 6 |
| ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM | 7 |
This concludes the configuration of MX records to point to Google. It may take 24-48 hours for the propagation.
