You have finally decided to go for the G Suite. Don’t worry, most people are still not aware of this service or rather unaware of how big it could be for their business. But setting up G Suite is not an easy thing, even if you have good technical knowledge. I have gone through the process of setting up G Suite for my clients and now want to share it with you in the simplest possible way.
G Suite is a well-known professional domain-based email service provided by well known & most popular search engine Google. Other companies that provide official email services don’t give extra facility other than email service but in G Suite you will be allowed to use all kinds of Google services.
Here, you will get more than 15 GB of storage in google drive based on the purchased plan. This is a much easier service to adopt business. This service allows you the same thing with your business domain and will give you the admin control power to manage the users & others.

Summary: Set up G Suite
- Note: Only the account owner can sign up for G Suite.
- You can customize your domain name and email address to create a professional image for your business.
- Section: To sign up for G Suite, your domain must use Google’s name servers. If you’re not sure what name servers your domain uses, follow the steps in Check your domain host before you start.
- You don’t need to set up anything with your existing web host or web developer. G Suite works with any website that uses standard hosting services from a third-party host like Bluehost, GoDaddy, or HostGator.
- In most cases, it takes only a few minutes to set up G Suite after you’ve verified your domain and created your G Suite account. However some features might take up to 24 hours to get started.
