This tutorial will show you how to sign up for Google Workspace.

Use Google Workspace for more information about our collaboration with Google and what a customized email address is.
See Troubleshoot Google Workspace if you get an email or an error message when setting up Google Workspace.

Note: Google Workspace, formerly known as G Suite, contains Google's Gmail in its professional edition. If you created a Google Workspace account when the program was still known as G Suite, Google will automatically transfer your account to Google Workspace. The functionality is the same in both cases.

before you begin

Make sure you fulfill the qualifying requirements.

The domain you're using can't have special characters like ü, é, or in it.

Even if you have numerous custom domains, you can only have one Google Workspace account per Squarespace site.

Check to see that your homepage is visible and not hidden behind a password.

From the site access panel, change the visibility of your site to Public. After you've completed the Google Workspace setup, you may change it to Private or Password Protected.

Step 1: Get your domain ready

Your Good Best Social Media site's domain must be appropriately set up to sign up for Google Workspace. Keep in mind that you have the option of:

Sign up for Google Workspace using any domain that is related to your site, whether it is your principal domain or a secondary domain.
After you've signed up for a Google Workspace account, you may verify either domain.

Step 2 - Register and purchase your account

Click Settings, then Google Workspace from the Main Menu.
Click Email in the Main Menu if you're using a parked domain page.
Select the monthly or yearly plan from the drop-down menu. After you've created your account, you won't be able to switch to another Google Workspace subscription.
Fill out the blanks on the Registration page with the following information:

E-mail address

First name: your first name

Name: your last name

Username: New Email Address: Adhere to Google's naming conventions. Letters (a-z), digits (0-9), hyphens (-), underscores (_), apostrophes ('), and periods can all be used in usernames (.). Your complete email address appears when you input this field.

Domain: Your primary domain is automatically filled in this area. Use the drop-down option to choose a different domain for your email address if you have numerous domains.

New Email Address: Gives you a sneak peek of your new Google Workspace email.

Information about how to contact us

Personal email:

Substitute an existing email address for email@example.com. A personal @gmail or @yahoo email account, for example. Enter the one for the Google Workspace you're establishing instead.

Organization: If you don't have an organization name, enter your name.

Country: From the drop-down menu, pick your Country.

Postcode: Leave this box blank if your nation does not use a postcode. If you see the notice "invalid postal code," it signifies your postal code is incorrectly formatted. Make sure your postal code is valid before entering it again.

4. After you've double-checked your information, click Save and Continue.

5. Fill in your credit card details on the following screen. Use a card that does not have 3D Secure capabilities to prevent any issues. Save and Continue is the next step.

6. After reviewing the order and the Terms of Service, click Confirm & Buy.

A message will appear verifying the completion of your account registration. Click Return to the Google Workspace panel by going to Google Workspace.

In Google Workspace, the email address you set up has administrator access. See Google's documentation for additional information on the admin job.

Step 3: Your temporary password will be sent to your current email address.

Look through your inbox for the email address you used to register with Google Workspace. Your temporary password will be sent to you through email. Welcome to Google Workspace is the topic of the email. Check your spam folder if the email does not appear.

Click the Connect to Email button in the email.

Note:
A welcome email from Google is also sent, but it does not provide a temporary password.

Send your Google Workspace welcome email a second time.

You can resend a request if your welcome email is not in your inbox or spam folder:

Click Settings, then Google Workspace from the Main Menu.

Select the Google Workspace user you just made.

To send an invitation or reset your password, go to Send Invitation or Reset Password.

Step 4: Login and accept the Google Terms of Service.

Log in using the temporary password and the newly established email address. You'll need to click Add Account before signing in if you're currently signed in to another Google Workspace or Gmail account.

To establish your own password, follow Google's instructions and agree to the Google Workspace Terms of Service.

You'll be sent to your new Google Workspace admin interface, where you can validate your domain.

Step 5 - Verify your Google Workspace domain.

When you initially log in to the Google Workspace admin console, Google may ask you to verify your domain using the admin setup panel Configure admin console, which is situated at the top of the dashboard. This is a security step to guarantee that no one else with Google Workspace uses your domain.

If the invitation does not display in your Google Admin panel, use the Google Workspace Setup Tool and authenticate your domain. For more information, see Google's documentation.

Step 6 - Add Mail eXchanger records

Google Workspace needs Mail eXchanger (MX) records to send and receive email on your behalf.

External domains

You will get an email with instructions on how to add Mail eXchanger records to your domain's DNS settings if you registered your domain via a third party such as GoDaddy or Hover. To receive emails to your Google Workspace addresses, you must complete this step.

See Google's documentation for additional information on adding Mail eXchanger records to a third-party domain.
