Gmail Hosted on our Subdomain

Would that work? For those of you who don't know what the hell I'm talking about, visit here.

For a sub-domain? No.
You would need to have an actual domain, I believe.
(like x10hosting.com ) ... but I guess if you can change the mx record for the sub-domain, I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed.

You are technically not hosting it on the sub-domain, just using the address for gmail e-mail service.

Looks like you need a TLD... other that is should work, or at least I don't see why it wouldn't work.

 

[Starshine]

Actually, most of that isn't needed. I use WLCD ( Windows Live Custom Domains ) ... just update your MX record to what ever server it asks you to point it to - update it to make sure Google recognizes it ... should work.

I think, if you can update the MX record for the sub-domain, it should work.

 

[DizzyTechnology]

It seems as if x10Hosting does not allow direct editing of subdomain (e.g., free hosting account) MX Record editing. By yes, I agree, other than that, I do not see why Google's service would not work. I just would have to be approved for the beta (another story entirely).

 

[Starshine]

I dunno about the sub-domain, never tried.
I know if you point a domain name, you can. *shrugs*

Maybe an admin can clarify.

 

[DizzyTechnology]

Good point, can an admin verify?

Hey, i tryed out, and it work, but i have some questions and i will like to know if can be answered...

1.
Gmail tells me to do the next:

Change the MX records by priorty... but in cpanel i only have 1 MX record to chage... is this going to affect the mail in some way?

2.
I've created a subdomain to point to google entry page as a redirect, is there any other better way to do it?

If any( or all) of this question are related to gmail service please let me know!!!!
Thaks in advance.
Gonzalo.

1. No need to. It won't affect it any.
2. Sounds like a good way to do it. ... Unless someone else has an idea.

You need to have control of your MX entries. And we cam't just change them for every member that wants them...

 

[DizzyTechnology]

Oh, sorry, thanks.

 

[cetutnx1]

OK, first sorry... i've read a little bit more in google page about changing the mx record, it doesn't mather if you can onlky chage one mx record(not by priority) i have it working now and it only take me 48hs!!!!(This is offcourse the time to google accepts my petition then in like 20mins i chaged every thing and it's working perfectly xD!!!)

 

[DizzyTechnology]

On an x10hosting subdomain? Can you give instructions? I'll sign up...

 

[Brandon]

I got it to work too, just sign up with your sub-domain, then go into CPanel and under Mail Mangment Click Modify Mail Exchange

Then click on change a MX Entry

Then in the box enter

"ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM".

Then after you get accepted and you wait, in the sidebar of the admin panel it should say

Sorry about images, I can't use paint very well
