Set Up Your Business Email in 3 Easy Steps

Step 1

Apply for Google Workspace

Access the Google official website via the link here to apply for a 14-day trial (account is limited to 10 users).
※ Please note that you must own a domain (e.g. a .com domain name) to apply for Google Workspace. If you do not have a domain, you can purchase one from the following domain registrars:

Go Daddy:
https://hk.godaddy.com/en/domains/domain-name-search
Hosting speed:
https://hostingspeed.net/account/domainname.php
Google:
https://domains.google/#/

Step 2

Verify Domain Ownership

When you sign up you must verify your domain (e.g. .com) to prove ownership before you can use Google Workspace, including the Gmail service.

Verification method:

  1. Add a TXT or CNAME record in your domain panel (recommended)
  2. Upload the HTML file to your website
  3. Add a meta tag to your website

Step 3

Change MX Records

After domain ownership is verified, the MX records must be changed.
It may take 24 to 48 hours for MX records to show up in the system.

Host Time to Live (TTL*) Type Priority Destination
Blank or @ 3600 MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @ 3600 MX 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @ 3600 MX 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @ 3600 MX 10 ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @ 3600 MX 10 ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

Please refer to Set up MX Records for Google Workspace

To prevent others from spoofing your domain address to send email, resulting in your organization’s email being classified as spam or blocked altogether, it is recommended that you add an SPF record to the domain panel. Recipients can use the SPF records to determine whether the email was sent from an authorized mail server or not.

Create a TXT record with the following value: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all

Please refer to About SPF Record more information.

After the set-up is complete, you can start using Google Workspace.
