Hi guys

 

Bear with me here - I'm an accountant first, tech geek second (!)

 

 

 

My sister is starting up a business and I have agreed to help her set up a website etc. I thought it would work pretty flawlessly using Squarespace Business account as it includes Google Apps for Work in the price.

 

However, they don't have .co.nz or .nz domain registration capability, which made me go to Domainz to set up the .nz (the .co.nz is taken unfortunately). 

 

I'm trying to point the .nz domain to Google Apps for Work using their step-by-step procedure which is telling me to insert 5 MX records in order of priority. It then takes about an hour to verify, however it fails each time.

 

 

 

Am I missing something? On one screen it did say to wait 48 hours - is it standard procedure to enter those MX files and wait 48 hours before telling Google Apps to search and verify?

 

Through the Domainz page I need to point my .nz domain to Google Apps for email, and to my Squarespace page for the website. 

 

 

 

I hope I haven't done anything wrong so far. Your help would really be appreciated.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks

Also you can contact the domain registrar to make the changes for you, you just email the required changes through to them, as that is what you pay them for. Most providers provide 7 days support, if yours doesn't I suggest changing to one that does.
