A professional domain email, such as [email protected], establishes high credibility, trust, and strengthens your brand’s identity. Instead of sending an email from your personal email, using a domain-based email conveys a sense of professionalism and trust towards your brand. Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) is one of the most famous domain email providers with its robust solution, secure emails, and seamless integration with productivity tools like Google Docs, Meet, Drive, and an intuitive Admin Console. This guide provides a clear, step-by-step process to set up your first domain email in Google Workspace, enhanced by StableCluster’s fast and reliable DNS support in Nepal.
A custom domain email projects enhanced professionalism and trust, setting your business apart from generic [email protected] addresses. Domain-based emails are a must when it comes to professionalism, and Google Workspace remains the number one pick for it.
Google Workspace’s seamless integration with productivity-based apps like Gmail, Google Docs, Google Meet, and Google Drive makes it the best. This allows business emails to seamlessly integrate into your system to enhance productivity and trust. StableCluster is a trusted Google Workspace provider in Nepal that ensures seamless DNS setup and 24/7 dedicated support, which makes the process accessible even for non-technical users.
What You Need to Get Started
To begin, you’ll need three main things:
For users on their very first step and who do not have a domain registered to them, with StableCluster, you can experience seamless domain registration from Nepal with popular domain extensions like .com, .co, .org, and .net. You can also get a free .com.np domain if you are in Nepal.
Moreover, signing up for Google Workspace through StableCluster also comes with perks like 24/7 support, local currency billing, and free setup assistance.
For DNS, StableCluster’s 1-click DNS Manager simplifies configuration, though you can also use your domain registrar’s DNS panel. Capitalize today on StableCluster’s free Google Workspace setup support without any technical expertise.
Selecting the right Google Workspace provider ensures a smooth setup and ongoing support for your business email and productivity tools. Look for a provider like StableCluster that offers local currency billing, 24/7 human support, and free DNS configuration to simplify technical tasks like MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setup. Check for additional services such as domain registration, email migration, and competitive renewal pricing. A reliable provider should also have a user-friendly interface and fast DNS servers to minimize setup delays, making the process accessible even for non-technical users.

Follow these steps to set up domain email with Google Workspace, optimized with StableCluster’s DNS tools.
First of all, you’ll need a Google Workspace plan, which you can get from StableCluster’s Google Workspace page. Various plans cater to businesses with various needs, with additional features like storage, security, and speed. You must provide your business details and domain name during the signup process. StableCluster makes the process seamless with local currency billing and an integrated DNS panel.
Navigate to your Google Workspace Admin Console, go to Domains, then select Manage Domains and Add a Domain. Enter your domain (e.g., stablecluster.com) if you haven’t already.
Google will generate a TXT record to verify that you own your domain. It typically looks like:
Name: @
Type: TXT
Value: google-site-verification=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Copy and paste this record in StableCluster’s DNS Manager or your registrar’s DNS panel. DNS propagation usually takes about 5 minutes to 24 hours, but StableCluster’s fast DNS servers minimize delays. This verifies your domain for use. The TXT record is a confirmation that you own the domain, and StableCluster ensures quick verification.
To proceed, sign in with your StableCluster account and see various MX (Mail Exchange) records. These MX records direct email to Google’s servers. As Google frequently updates its MX record, you must use the appropriate set based on your setup date.
In StableCluster’s DNS Manager, add these MX records and remove any old MX records from previous email providers to prevent conflicts. This allows us to know where to send incoming mail for delivery. Refer to Google’s official MX record guide for details: Google Support.
An SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record prevents email spoofing by specifying which servers can send emails for your domain.
Add this TXT record:
Name: yourdomainname
Type: TXT
Value: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
This ensures that only Google’s servers send emails for your domain, enhancing deliverability and protecting against spam.
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) adds a digital signature to your emails, verifying their authenticity. Adding them is crucial if you want your emails to look trustworthy and genuine. This improves email security and reduces spam.
To do so, navigate to Apps in Google Workspace Admin Console. Under Gmail, go to Authenticate Email, and generate a DKIM key. A new TXT record will be provided, which you’ll need to copy and add into StableCluster’s DNS Manager. StableCluster auto validates DKIM for supported domains, which makes the process simple.
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) enforces policies for unauthenticated emails.
Add a DMARC TXT record like:
Name: _dmarc
Type: TXT
Value: v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected];
For any confusion in setting up DKIM and DMARC records, you can refer to the official guides provided by Google for DKIM and DMARC. Furthermore, if the issue still persists, you can always contact StableCluster’s support at [email protected].
Through Google Workspace, you can also create additional emails or add additional users. You can also make alias emails like [email protected] and redirect them to [email protected], which makes email management easier.
In the Admin Console, go to Users > Add New User for new accounts or Users > Select User > Aliases for aliases.
Aliases are free, while each new user requires a paid license.
This step is what actually makes your email address function, officially routes your mail to Gmail.
In the Admin Console, enable Gmail under Apps > Google Workspace > Gmail. Send and receive a test email to confirm your setup.
Verify DNS propagation using tools like MXToolbox. Your Business email is now live and ready to use.
As you set up domain email with Google Workspace, you may face certain setup issues and fixes. Issues like propagation delays, incorrect record formatting, or overlapping records from previous providers usually cause issues. If your DNS change takes longer than 24 hours, you can use StableCluster’s fast DNS servers or check propagation with tools like DNSChecker. Ensure your TTL is set to 300 (5 minutes) and always double-check record values to avoid errors. Remove any conflicting MX or SPF records from prior email services to avoid delivery problems. In such cases, you can always reach out to StableCluster’s support team, which ensures instant issue fixing.
For many users, migrating data/email from your previous email to your new inbox is essential. This can also be easily done through Google Workspace. Log in to your Google Workspace and navigate to Menu > Account > Data Migration. You can use data migration to migrate data from other email hosts, if you already have one, or you can simply migrate data from your personal email to your new domain-based email.
Leave them blank if you do not have any special requirements. After setting up these settings, add a user, and enter your old email. Google requires signing up with an old email for security reasons.
The final step is to specify users for whom you want to migrate the data, bringing in old emails to your new business email.
