Hi all

 

I own a domain name through Metaname and given the amount of spam I’m getting through my current old xtra account, I’m finally biting the bullet and I have signed up for a GSuite account so I can use my domain as my primary email address going forward.

 

The Gsuite walkthrough asks me to add the MX records to my domains control panel. I’m having a bit of trouble actually finding the control panel, or something that looks applicable on the Metaname website. I emailed Metaname over the weekend and rang them on Monday but to date, I haven’t heard from them.

 

Are any of you learned people able to help me with this?

 

Thanks very much.

The control panel is in your domain management under DNS:

 

 

Essentially you're wanting to click on "Managed DNS" and do the following:

 

 

Note - in my case I don't use Metaname DNS so it'll look a bit different for you. In the "name" field put a @ and it'll populate your domain name. There are other records to add (such as a cname so you can go to "mail.domain.com") as well as mail security (SPF TXT record, DMARC etc) which is essential. It is pretty straight forward to do DNS management.

 

Also - for the mx records and CNAME records it is important to finish the domain with a full-stop like I have done above.
