Google Apps question - GoFuckYourself.com

montel · 04-19-2007, 08:51 AM

If you have an established site on a domain, can you also get Google Apps on that domain and keep your established site? Or does changing the DNS settings for Google Apps to get email etc mess this up? So do I need to get a new domain for Google Apps, or can I have Google Apps and my old site on the single domain?

Hmm looks like noone uses Google Apps here! It is pretty cool, it lets you use Gmail on your personal domain for free.... anyone?!

i was looking into signing up for that, i think you have to change the dns to them for everything to work, unless you just wanted mail, and can point the mx record

hmmm this is the thing, i am trying to work out if changing the dns will stop the site on that domain from working?

you just have to change certain parts of the dns records to them, my domain runs just fine on my hosting, but I run my business email through hosted gmail, which works great
