In this tutorial you will find instructions, on how to modify MX records, in order to route you domain email thought Google Mail. This tutorial is written for users that they want to keep using the G-Suite Mail (Google Apps Mail, GMAIL), as their default mail service, after transferring their website from Google Sites to another hosting provider. For example: Your website is running from a third party host (not on G-Suite), but you want to use the existing G Suite GMAIL with your domain.
In this tutorial you learn how to modify the default Mail Exchanger (MX) records, in order to route domain's email to Google Mail servers. (Direct your domain email to a G-Suite account Mail/Gmail).
