How to correctly bind a domain name to Google Apps in China

After registering your own domain name, if you bind it to Google Apps, you can get free email, documents, sites, and other good features. For example, I bound the domain name www. Lixin. Me to the blog of Google appengine and bound the Lixin at Lixin. Me email to Gmail.

However, to take effect, you must change the record of your domain name to Google's server. The following describes how to change the record of Google's official website:

Change the record of the domain

The a record in your domain is managed by your domain hosting service provider. You can use the record to direct your raw domain URL to other URLs in your domain.

Note: Specific instructions may vary with Domain Name hosting service providers, and Google does not support a record. If the following general instructions do not apply to you, contact your domain name hosting service provider directly.

Log on to your domain name hosting service provider.

Navigate to your DNS Management page. That is, "Domain Management"-> "Advanced Settings ".

Locate the record settings and create a new a record.

Enter the name of the hosting service provider. For some domain name hosting service providers, the '@' value is equivalent to the bare domain.

Enter the following IP address as the target value:

216.239.32.21
216.239.34.21
216.239.36.21
216.239.38.21

Save the changes through your domain name hosting service provider.

Click "I have completed these steps" below ".

The above is the official operation method. However, if you set it as follows, you will not be able to access it in the Mainland. It is very simple. The above IP addresses are all blocked and your browser will not be able to send requests to the four IP addresses above. How can this problem be solved? Fortunately, there are a lot of Google IP addresses, which are generally not completely blocked. You can use the ghs.google.com domain name to obtain more available IP addresses. By querying the IP address of the ghs.google.com domain name, we can find that there are many IP addresses and they are often changed, all we need to do is run the NSLookup ghs.google.com 8.8.4.4 command to get the available IP address of the domain name and get more available IP addresses. You can execute this command on your computer, you can also use online NSlookup, or run commands in a large foreign country on the VPN to obtain the IP address and ping the IP address one by one. If the IP address can be pinged, record it, then, replace the four a record IPS mentioned above and add them to your domain name a record. After this setting, you can use the apps normally.
