Setting up G-Suite mails in cPanel

Sign up for G-Suite

Visit the G-Suite website and sign up for a G-Suite account that suits your business needs. Choose a plan that offers the required number of user accounts and features. 

To create your G-Suite account, provide the necessary information, such as your domain name and business details.

Verify domain ownership

You will be prompted to verify your domain ownership during the G-Suite setup process. This step ensures you control the domain you want to associate with your G-Suite emails. Follow the instructions provided by G-Suite to verify your domain, which may involve making DNS record changes or uploading an HTML file to your website’s root directory.

Access cPanel

Log in to your cPanel account provided by your hosting provider. Look for the “Zone Editor” section on the domains tab.

Click the “Zone Editor” icon to access your email settings, where you will proceed to modify your MX records.

Choose the domain and proceed to manage

Fill in the above information and proceed to save the record. A popup message will show at the top confirming your new record.

It’s under the Email section.

Choose your domain and select the “Remote Mail Exchanger” option to ensure all incoming emails are routed to the G-Suite servers.

Click on change, and wait at least 30 minutes for changes. 

Set up G-Suite accounts

Return to the G-Suite admin console and add custom links for your email. Under account settings, proceed to custom URLs.

You’ll provide your email details to ensure your emails are configured with Gmail, not cPanel.

Use the Gmail section

Test and verify

Once you have set up G-Suite accounts and configured email clients, testing the setup is crucial to ensure everything works correctly. 

Send a test email to your G-Suite account from an external email address and check if it is delivered successfully.

This step confirms that your G-Suite emails are set up and functioning as expected. The propagation period can vary but typically ranges from a few minutes to 24 hours. 

Some emails may still be delivered to your old mail server during this time.
