Custom URL

Custom URLs, or short URLs, make using the Internet easier. You and your users can access services with a simple, easy-to-remember address. Your custom URLs will follow this format: http://[customize this section].your_domain.com, and redirect to a login page.

Direct delivery

By default, Google Workspace mail servers deliver incoming mail to the Gmail inbox of the recipient. If a message is addressed to a user in your domain that is not registered in Google Workspace, the mail server discards the message.

DKIM

Is an acronym for "DomainKeys Identified Mail". It is a method for associating a domain name with an e-mail, thereby allowing an organization to take responsibility for a message in a way that can be validated by a recipient. The validation technique is based on public-key cryptography.

DMARC

Is an acronym for "Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance". It is a technical standard that helps protect email senders and recipients from spam, spoofing, and phishing. A DMARC policy is published to request feedback from receiving email servers and to tell them what to do with messages that are not authenticated by the sending domain. DMARC builds upon both the DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) and Sender Policy Framework (SPF) specifications. Policies include "none", "quarantine", or "reject".

 

DNS

Is an acronym for "Domain Name System". DNS is a hierarchical distributed database that lets you store IP addresses and other data and look it up by name. This is the system that organizes and identifies domains. DNS is the "phone book" of the web. While a phone book translates a name like “Acme Pizza” into the right phone number to call, the DNS translates a URL (like "http://EasygCloud.com") into an IP address (like “74.125.239.137”). For some Google Workspace functionality, you need to adjust DNS records of your domain. For example, DNS is used to determine where to deliver email for your domain via mail exchange (MX) records.

Domain Alias

Domain aliases are additional domain names associated with your primary domain. You can add a domain alias that receives mail and delivers it to mailboxes at your primary domain. See Basic Guide to DNS

Domain Host

Domain hosts run DNS servers for your domain. This includes A records, MX records, and CNAME records. See Basic Guide to DNS

Domain Name

Domain names are easy-to-remember names (ex. blueshirt.com or organicfood.org) that are associated with one or more IP addresses. Since a web page is defined by its URL, the page can move to a different IP address without affecting visitors. See Basic Guide to DNS

Domain Ownership

Accrues to the person or organization who registered the domain. For verification purposes administrators will be asked to prove that they own the domain name associated with a Google Workspace account.

Domain Registrar

Domain registrars sell Internet domain names (ex. blueshirt.com or organicfood.org ). Most of these companies offer a hosting service in addition to registration. See Basic Guide to DNS
