Thanks Voodooflux,

All the info is available form the google verify domian help. You have to create a sub-domain and name it the same as the unique key that google give you. You can then edit the DNS name of this sub-domain.

I don't think I've never not got a good answer from the google help files!

A client of mine has a domain with 1&1 and he doesn't appear to have any DNS editing capability, so I just checked their FAQ:

DNS Management is dependent on the features of the package and is available with all current domain packages advertised on the 1&1 website.

Older domain packages may not have full DNS management. Upgrade to the latest version to access this feature.

Please contact 1&1 Technical support if you are unable to determine if your package supports DNS management.

Sounds like you might need to drop Tech Support a line and get them to upgrade your domain package. You should then be able to configure the A/CNAME and MX records you require for Google Apps.

I've got a domain name, but no webmail capabilities so I just forward all the email addresses the domain gives me to a googlemail account. Dont really like this and google apps seems to offer a cost effective, i.e. free, way of getting something a little more easier to use.

Thanks

I know of people running businesses using Google Apps for Domains, if that's what you're referring to.

In the words of one such person responsible for the technical stuff for a startup with major VC funding, it's a "no-brainer".

He's somebody I used to work with when I was at Yahoo, for what that's worth. Very smart guy. More business sense than me

Yeah, I used Google Apps as an email platform for my domain for a while - seemed to work well, and very easy to set up.
