Create Custom Service URLs (Web Addresses) for Google Workspace Services
Set up custom web addresses for Google services, such as email.yourdomain.com for Gmail.
Go to the Admin console https://admin.google.com and click Account settings.
Select Custom URLs.
Select the custom URL option for all services you want to create custom URLs for, then type your custom URLs.
Click SAVE.
Next, you have to create a CNAME record for each custom URL in your domain’s DNS settings as per the instructions in this step.
For example, if you want to set up a URL https://email.easebrain.com for Gmail, you need to create a CNAME record with the Host set to ‘email.easebrain.com’ (some hosts will just ask you to type the subdomain, so just typing email will be enough) and Target/Destination/Resolves To should be set to ‘ghs.googlehosted.com.’
After adding and saving the CNAME record at your host, click I’VE COMPLETED THESE STEPS at the bottom.
Here’s how creating the record in SiteGround looks. If you are interested in having an amazing web host for your website, check out our SiteGround review here.
You go to https://tools.siteground.com/ and click DOMAIN > DNS Zone Editor on the left.
Next under Create New Record, select CNAME and type your custom web address in the Name field, then type ghs.googlehosted.com in the Resolves to field and click CREATE.
Repeat this step for all service addresses.
If you are not sure who your host is, check this article on identifying your hosting provider (coming soon).
Note that this can take up to 24 hours to take effect, so the new addresses may not work right away.
