Get FREE Google Workspace Custom Gmail for your Second Website Domain

If you have already purchased subscription of Google Workspace, for example, info@domain1.com, then you can get the same professional looking business email for your another website domain, for example, info@domain2.com.

You do not need to pay again. It is completely free. Technically, it is called domain alias. In fact, domain alias is different from email alias.

To get Free domain alias, in your Google Admin Console (admin.google.com), navigate to Account ⇾ Domains ⇾ Manage domains.

Here click ‘Add a domain’ option. Type domain name. Here the option of Secondary domain is not free. So, select the ‘User alias domain’ option. Now click ‘Add and start verification’ button.

You can automatically connect to your domain provider, but for your easy understanding, I will guide you through manual process of domain verification. So I clicked Generic Instructions.

Here select Continue.

Copy the Text (TXT) record.

In a new tab, Open the DNS settings on your Domain provider account, for example, here is method for GoDaddy, but it is similar for other domain providers.

Click on Add New Record button. Under Type, select TXT. Under Name type @ sign. Under Value, paste the text record you copied from the Google page. Click Save.

Open the Google page again. Scroll down and click Verify My Domain. Congratulations. You are Done.

You can see that it is Verified.

However, do not forget to Activate Gmail, which means entering MX records into domain settings.
