Here are the steps to configure your domain to work with the Google Docs:
- Login to your cPanel account.
- Open the “Simple DNS Zone Editor” section.
- Choose the domain you want to set up for Google Docs.
- In the “Add a CNAME Record” section, enter “docs” in the “Name” field.
- Enter “ghs.google.com” in the “CNAME” field.
- Click “Add a CNAME record” to confirm.
Changing Google Docs URL:
- Access your Google Apps Dashboard and select “Docs.”
- Within the Web address section, click “Change URL.”
- Opt for the second option and input your chosen subdomain name (e.g., “docs”).
- Click “Continue” to proceed.
- Confirm the setup by clicking, “I've completed these steps.”
- After configuring Google Docs and allowing time for DNS changes to propagate, you'll access it at http://docs.yourdomainname.com. This process mirrors verifying your domain for Google Apps and enables you to access Google Docs through your custom domain.
