Domain aliases and additional domains 

Now that we own at least one additional domain, it's time to associate it with the account; to do this, take these simple steps from the administrator home page:

  1. Click Domains  to go to the main domains management site.
  2. Click Add/remove domains to go the the domains management table.
    Here you can add, remove, or deactivate additional domains and domain aliases. By default, you will see the main domain and a Test domain alias.
  3. Click ADD A DOMAIN OR A DOMAIN ALIAS.
  4. Select an option:
    • Add a domain alias: This will associate the new domain as an alias for the current primary domain of this account. This means that all members of the organization will get an email address for each registered domain, but all will be pointing to the same inbox folder. This is very useful when you have a single team handling multiple brands. You can associate up to 20 domain aliases for the primary domain, and there is no additional cost for a domain alias.

    • Add another domain: This will make the new domains independent from the primary domain of this account. You will have to add users separately for each new separate domain, and these will be charged independently. You can associate up to 599 separate domains into a single account. We will learn more about configuring non-primary domains in the next section.

  5. Enter a domain alias.
  6. Click CONTINUE AND VERIFY DOMAIN OWNERSHIP. This will confirm you own the domain. You don't need to worry about this if you acquired the domain directly from Google. If you didn't get the domain through Google, you have the following options:
    1. Select Recommended method: This will use special settings targeted for the most common domain name providers:
      1. Select the domain name provider you used to buy the domain
      2. Follow the instructions on screen for that domain
    2. Select Alternate methods: These are generic approaches; use this if you can modify the code on the site, or request someone to do it for you. There are three options, however, you only need to use one:
      • HTML tag: This is a short piece of code that must be added to the home page.
      • HTML file upload: This is a small HTML file that you must add to the server and make accessible through a specific route.
      • Google Analytics: If this site uses Google Analytics, you can use that to confirm ownership. Keep in mind that you need to have access to the Google Analytics account used for this site.

  1. Click VERIFY to finish the setup. If you have trouble with verification, the Alternate methods are very reliable.

You can confirm whether a domain was correctly verified in the status column at the domains management table. You can also REMOVE or DISABLE additional domains and aliases by clicking the corresponding button, as shown in the following screenshot:

We just learned how to add new domains from within G Suite, but you can also do it from Google Domains; in the next section, you will learn how to do that.
