How to Create CNAME Record of Your Domain Pointing to Google as Host

A CNAME record is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS) that's stored by your domain host. With Google Apps, you'll need to create a CNAME record if you want to customize a service URL for one of your Google Apps services—for example, to access your Gmail sign-in page with the URL mail.your_domain.com instead of mail.google.com/a/your_domain.com.

  1. Sign in to your account at your domain host's website and go to the site's DNS management page (which might also be called something like Name Server Management). You might have to enable advanced settings for your account to access this page. For help, contact your domain host directly. Not sure who your domain host is?
  2. Click on the MY DOMAINS
  3. Click on the green icon on the right hand side of your dashboard (for Wed4Africa,net)
  4. If applicable, delete any CNAME record for a URL prefix that already exists. For example, if you're creating a CNAME record for mail, delete any existing CNAME records for mail.
  5. Create your new CNAME record by entering a Host Name/Alias and Value/Destination (the exact terms may vary by host) as shown below is example of Web4Africa.


Nameservers


Nameserver 1:
Nameserver 2:
Nameserver 3:
Nameserver 4:


Host Name/Alias
Value/Destination
Your URL prefix
Example: mail
ghs.google.com

Once you do this, your CNAME record points to Google. (Note, however, that changes to your DNS settings can take up to 24 hours to propagate throughout the Internet.) You can check the status of your CNAME record, as described below.
