In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to link your domain registered with NameCheap with Gmail on Google Workspace (formerly known as G Suite). Let’s take a look. 1. If you already have a domain name, go to [Google Workspace](https://workspace.google.com/), click **Start Free Trial** to sign up for an account. If you don’t yet have a domain, you can [get a domain + sign up for Google Workspace](https://www.namecheap.com/google-workspace/) all via NameCheap. (See [here](https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/10077/2234/google-workspace-signup-and-mailbox-setup/#a) for the complete process). 2. Sign in to [Google Admin Console](https://admin.google.com/). If you are doing this for the first time, you’ll need to **Accept Google Workspace Terms of Service**. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/8/a/8a0c812140508a0f16fa9ee645a73dba9474ca6d.jpeg) 1. Click **Verify Domain** on the top right corner. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/4/9/49c08ecf89a26726518f3fdac949399aa9a4bf5e.jpeg) 1.

Follow the instructions mentioned under **Here’s how it works** and then click **Continue**. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/d/0/d0288b673fb0047e166677aa411889234188ac8d.png) 1. On the next page, under **Let’s add your verification codes** , click **Copy** to copy the verification codes to your clipboard. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/4/4/44a0ba119225f4d0e597688b6cd514284760e358.jpeg) 1. Now, open a new browser window and log in to your NameCheap account. 2. In the Dashboard tab, look for your domain. Hover over the home icon, and click **Advanced DNS**. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/3/4/343d5077e32895c76631b77e5b87586b33920f19.jpeg) 1.

Under **Host Records** , if you see this screen, then it means that you’re on the right track so far. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/c/7/c76ffa89bd4e35aefbad0538599e90e72f99448a.jpeg) 1.

In the drop-down menu under **Type** , select **TXT Record**. Similarly, under **Host** , enter **@** , and under **Value** , paste in the verification codes copied earlier, and then click the tick icon. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/6/c/6c72c8f883c747599a2c53fa23b67df9d861a927.jpeg) 1.

If you want to add a new user, go to Google Admin and do take the needful steps. Every user you’ll add will have their own [username@customdomain.com](mailto:username@customdomain.com) email. `(Source: hongkiat)` **Happy learning!** ---

> [@TheStrength](#): > > **Start Free Tria** Hi @TheStrength Thank you for sharing. I have a question, you wrote that if I have a domain I can sign a free trial of Google Workspace, so this means that I do without have to pay, this is right? Another thing you said that if I do not have a domain I can do with NameCheap, but seams that with this I will have to pay for Google Workspace. ( I know that the register of a domain I have to pay, the question is about the Google Workspace) Thank you in advance. ---
