Having a professional email address (like yourname@yourbusiness.com) builds credibility and makes your brand look more polished. This guide will walk you through two simple ways to set up a custom email:
Using Google Workspace (Recommended for Businesses)
Using Wix (Logging in and Paying for Google Workspace through the WIX Dashboard)
We’ll also cover costs, setup time, and troubleshooting tips.
📌 Option 1: Set Up Email with Google Workspace (Best for Businesses)
💰 Cost: $6 - $18 per user/month (depending on plan)
✅ Step-by-Step Setup
Step 1: Buy a Domain (If You Don’t Have One)
Purchase from Google Domains ($12/year), Namecheap, or GoDaddy.
If you already own one (e.g., from Wix), skip this step.
Step 2: Sign Up for Google Workspace
Go to workspace.google.com
Click "Get Started" → Choose a plan (Business Starter $6/user/month works for most).
Enter your business details and domain (e.g., yourbusiness.com).
Step 3: Verify Domain Ownership
Google will ask you to verify via:
DNS TXT Record (Best method—log into your domain registrar and add the record)
HTML File Upload (Upload a file to your website)
Meta Tag (Add a tag to your website’s <head> section)
Step 4: Set Up MX Records (Email Routing)
Go to your domain registrar’s DNS settings (e.g., GoDaddy, Wix, Cloudflare).
Replace existing MX records with Google’s MX records (provided in Workspace setup).
Wait 24-48 hours for full email activation.
Step 5: Create Email Accounts
Open Google Admin Console → Users → Add New User (e.g., hello@yourbusiness.com).
Set passwords and assign licenses.
Step 6: Access Your Email (Gmail Interface)
Log in at mail.google.com with your new email.
✅ Done! Now you have Gmail with your custom domain.
If you have a Wix website and want to create a professional email (like you@yourdomain.com) using Google Workspace, this guide will walk you through connecting Google Workspace to your Wix domain.
📌 Before You Start
✅ Requirements:
✔ A domain purchased through Wix (or connected to your Wix website).
✔ A Google Workspace account (sign up here).
🚀 Step-by-Step Setup
Step 1: Purchase Google Workspace (If You Haven’t Yet)
Go to Google Workspace and choose a plan (e.g., Business Starter - $6/user/month or cheaper).
Enter your Wix domain (e.g., yourdomain.com).
Fill in your business details and proceed to checkout.
Step 2: Verify Domain Ownership (Inside Google Workspace)
After signing up, Google will ask you to verify your domain.
Choose "Add a TXT record" (recommended).
Copy the TXT record (a long code provided by Google).
Step 3: Add the TXT Record in Wix Domains
Log in to your Wix dashboard.
Go to Domains → Manage Domain (your primary domain).
Click "Advanced Settings" → DNS Management.
Under TXT Records, click "Add Record".
Paste the Google TXT verification code and save.
Go back to Google Workspace and click "Verify". (This may take a few minutes.)
Step 4: Set Up MX Records (For Email Routing in Wix)
Once verified, Google will prompt you to update MX records:
In Google Workspace Admin Console, look for "Set up Gmail".
Copy the MX records provided (usually 5-6 entries).
Go back to Wix DNS settings (same place as Step 3).
Delete any existing MX records (if any).
Add Google’s MX records one by one (priority, host, value).
Save changes.
⚠️ Note: Email may take 24-48 hours to fully activate.
Step 5: Create Your Professional Email Address
Go back to Google Admin Console (admin.google.com).
Navigate to Users → Add New User.
Enter your new email (e.g., hello@yourdomain.com) and set a password.
Assign a Google Workspace license to the user.
Step 6: Access Your New Email
Go to Gmail.
Log in with your new email (e.g., hello@yourdomain.com).
Done! You now have a professional email powered by Google.
