Create another MX record, setting the priority as five,, and the mail server as “ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.” Create a third MX record, setting the priority as five, and “ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM” as the mail server. Create a fourth MX record, setting the priority as 10, and “ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM” as the mail server. Create a final MX record with a priority setting of 10, and a mail server of “ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.”

Tips & Warnings

Due towards the large differences between domain hosting company dashboards, a few of these instructions can vary depending on your hosting organization. Google offers further help specific to each from the major hosting companies (see Reference 1). The hosting company’s technical support team can also help you if you want help navigating their control panel.

Remember that Google Apps doesn't offer traditional domain hosting. Do not change any records besides the MX records to avoid website service disruptions.
