Creating an email domain in Gmail means running professional [email protected] addresses through Gmail's interface, via Google Workspace. Here is how to create an email domain and connect it to Gmail.
Steps to create your email domain
- Register a domain if you do not already own one.
- Sign up for Google Workspace and add the domain.
- Verify ownership with the provided TXT record.
- Point MX records to Google so mail routes to Gmail.
- Create mailboxes and publish SPF/DKIM.
The MX record is key: it tells the internet to deliver your domain's mail to Google. Once it propagates, your custom-domain email works right inside Gmail.
