Setup google apps for your domain by yourself!

As we have been asking for by our users about how to setup google application on linux server (cPanel) for several times, that’s why this post is to let you know about google application. However you can say it as a do it yourself guide or tutorial for helping you to setup google application to work on your domain. What will be covered is only how to setup email.

Google application in a short: Google Apps is a service from Google for using custom domain names with several Google products. With Google Apps, you are able to setup your business email e.g. yourname@yourdomain.com to work with Gmail. Email Messaging and services have not been easier than this for business owners. For advanced configurations and setup, you may need an expert or have to be an expert on this service.
What is the benefit of moving email to Google?

Most small businesses are using the free email service for AOL, Comcast, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc… and this does not portray a professional image.
Well, come to the point:

Step 1:

Go to www.google.com/a and sign up for an account
If you already have a Gmail email you can use this account as the primary account to setup all the settings, or you can sign up for a new Gmail account

Step 2:

Setup Domain Details.
Your Name, Your Organization, how many users, etc…

Step 3:
Setup the Primary Master account

Step 4:
Setup What applications you want
For most of you your just going to want to setup Email and Calendar

Step 5:
The most difficult part is the Changes to DNS you will have to make.

These next steps below are copied directly from Google. They maybe a little different depending on various domain hosts.

  1. Sign in to your domain hosting company’s website using the username and password associated with your domain.
  2. Navigate to an MX record maintenance page. MX records are special DNS (Domain Name Service) records, and are often located under sections titled “DNS Management,” “Mail Server Configuration,” or “Name Server Management.” You may need to turn on advanced settings to allow editing of these MX records.
  3. Delete any existing MX records before entering new MX records.
  4. For each MX record, enter information according to the entries in the following table. You may not be allowed to enter the priority values exactly as they appear in the table below; in that case, simply ensure that the server addresses are prioritized in the same order as they appear in the table. (I.e. The priority ranking [1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 5, 5] should work just as well as [1, 5, 5, 10, 10, 10, 10] so long as you keep the addresses in the right order.) If you’re asked to specify the type of each record you’re adding, enter “MX”.
  5. MX records often require the specific format of DNS records, including a trailing dot (”.”) at the end of any full-qualified domain names (e.g. “server.example.com.”)

Set any TTL values to the maximum allowed.

MX Server address

Priority

ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 1
ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 5
ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 10
ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 10

Hope this article will help you on this matter efficiently and we are pleased to announce that XeonBD's server supports google apps.

Introducing White Label Hosting

White Label Hosting

With XeonBD's powerful reseller architecture, you can build your own hosting business while we stay in the background. You can set up hosting plans, offer email services, and customize the look and feel of the control panel to match your company identity.  Wholesale pricing means you can set your own pricing, and earn revenue all beginning at your website.

Easy to use system

Our easy to use reseller control panel allows you to act as a completely independent hosting provider.

Automated customer signups can be done from your website. Each customer will be given their own control panel, and they can manage their accounts and websites automatically.

Easily find and manage your customer accounts from within the reseller control panel. View customer billing history, resource usages, set per customer credit limits, even suspend overdue accounts.

Offer many services to your customers

Web Hosting is just the start of your business. Make it grow larger by offering a range of services such as web hosting, Domain Registration, and email services. Our reseller packages allow you to offer such features as:

Customization to make it your own

We will run our systems in the background without your customers ever knowing about us. You can customize various features of your endusers' control panel, from the color pallet and logos, to the texts which show up inside the control panel. Even the signup texts can be customized.  Your customers will think you're running your own company (and you will be) with your own data center and technology.

We stay hidden so you can profit

All features of our system are white-label, meaning your customer will not be able to connect their hosting with us. Even if you choose not to customize your system, we will still remain invisible to your customers.

Control panel logins, signup links, the WebMail system, and even name servers are given a generic white-lable name so we stay hidden. However, this doesn't prevent you from customizing it yourself.

You can even use your own domain name for your name servers, create custom email notifications and even set the control panel link to use your domain name.

Wholesale pricing means you can make more profits

Our wholesale pricing on domain registration, hosting services, email services, and other features makes it easy for you to make more money.  Watch your profit margin grow, as you will be able to set pricing on every feature you offer to your customers.
