Connecting Your Domain to Google Workspace (G Suite) via DNS

Step 1: Access the DNS Management Interface


  1. Log in to your EX2’s Client Area.
  2. Go to My Domains and select the domain you want to manage (e.g.,mathtestex2.eu).
  3. Click on the three dots next to the domain and select Manage Domain.



  1. On the Domain Overview page, click on DNS Management.


Step 2: Add MX Records for Google Workspace


There are two valid configurations for Google Workspace MX records – the legacy and the new setup. Use the one that fits your DNS panel format.

New Google Workspace accounts:

If you are a new Google Workspace customer and are configuring your MX records

for the first time, you can use smtp.google.com or the five records described below,

as both will function.

Legacy MX Setup:

Priority Mail Server

1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

10 ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

10 ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM



Make sure to delete any existing MX records before adding these.



Step 3: Add a TXT Record for Verification and SPF


Host Type Value

@ TXT v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all

Also add the TXT verification record provided in your Google Admin Console (it usually

starts with google-site-verification=).



Step 4: Add CNAME Records for Mail and Calendar (Required)


Even though Google lists these as optional, it’s highly recommended to include them for full

functionality (Gmail, Calendar, and mobile sync).

Name Type Destination

mail CNAME ghs.googlehosted.com

calendar CNAME ghs.googlehosted.com



Step 5: Save and Verify Changes


  1. Click Save after entering all DNS records.
  2. Wait for DNS propagation (can take up to 24 hours).
  3. Go to your Google Admin Console and complete domain verification.
  4. Test email by sending a message to/from your domain.



Step 6: Verify DNS Changes


Use external tools like:

MXToolbox

WhatsMyDNS

to confirm the propagation of A and CNAME records.


By completing these steps, your domain will correctly point to your Wix website using the pointing method.
