If you use your own registrar to manage your website DNS and do not point your nameservers to Loclweb you’ll need to manually set up your MX records to use email with Google Workspace.
Here are the values for Google Workspace MX records:
| Name/Host/Alias | Time to Live (TTL*) | Record Type | Priority | Value/Answer/Destination |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| @ or leave blank | 3600 | MX | 1 | ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| @ or leave blank | 3600 | MX | 5 | ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| @ or leave blank | 3600 | MX | 5 | ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| @ or leave blank | 3600 | MX | 10 | ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
| @ or leave blank | 3600 | MX | 10 | ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM |
Every domain registrar has a different way of changing MX records. If you don’t know how to change yours you can search how to change MX records on XYZ. So, for GoDaddy, you should search for “change MX records on GoDaddy.”
