How to configure your domain for Google Docs?

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.
