Google Apps Create Administrator Account

 

Panel
  • Type a username and a password. Be sure to re-enter the password.
  • Type the words you see in the Word Verification image.
  • Read the Terms and Conditions for using the Google Apps service. When you are ready, click "I accept. Continue with set up".
  • Registration should be complete by now and you should be logged in to your Google Apps Dashboard (control panel).

...


After you click the Verify button, allow up to 48 hours for Google to verify your are the owner of the domain name. In many cases it will be much faster than that. The last time I tried it was done instantly.


While you wait, you can continue using the Google setup guide to complete your Google Apps. Alternatively, here is a tutorial that skips straight to the email setup. Start using Google Email

  1. At the Google Apps Dashboard, click the Email link. You can change any of these settings as you see fit.
  2. Click the link for Email Activation
  3. Read the instructions carefully. If your domain already has email addresses, you should create user accounts before changing your MX records.


A. Create user accounts

 

Panel
  • Click the "Create user accounts" link.
  • Enter a first and last name for the email user. Enter the name of his email address.
  • Click the "Create new user" button.
  • If you need to enter more emails, click the "Create Another User" link.
  • Once finished, go back to the Dashboard tab at the top.
  • To quickly get to the next step, click the Activate Email link.

B. Set up email delivery

If you skipped creating email users, then click the "Change MX records" link.

Note
Google reminds you to create the email users before you change the MX records, or you may have email downtime.



Google also offers you temporary email addresses, so you can use Google mail before the MX record change.


You see "Showing instructions for" and a drop down box. Select "cPanel" as your hosting company. Follow the instructions.


Note: The instructions they give are for the cPanel X theme. However, almost all GlowHost clients are using the GlowHost X3 theme. Here are the instructions for GlowHost X3 instead

Accessing Webmail

Go back to the Google Apps Dashboard and click the email link.
Next to Web address you see a sign-in address (URL) which is similar to:


Panel
http://mail.google.com/a/yourdomain.com/



The login is the email name WITHOUT @yourdomain.com and the temporary password given by Google. You can find the temporary password by going to the "Users and Groups" tab at the top. Click the email account in question, and the password will be shown.
