Convert HostPC.com to GoDaddy DNS and Google Apps
casper42 said 1 year ago:
So I have a domain name I havent used in years and I want to get it setup for Google Apps as a test.
I need help getting the root DNS moved back to GoDaddy’s control as right now when I try to do manage DNS its asking me for a DS Record including all kinds of SHA1/SHA256 hash values and such.
I went to check another domain of mine that uses GD’s forwarding service, and I assumed that would be set to Parked Domain / Forwarded Domain under Set Nameserver, but instead its set to I have specific name servers are those are both set to NS##.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
I have no idea if thats part of GoDaddy or what.
Once DNS is back at GoDaddy, there is a FAQ on Google Apps along with a tool from GD to put in all the right DNS Records to make Google Apps gMail and such work.
Thanks,
Dan

If the domain name in question is registered with us, you can use the ‘Park Domain’ option to update the nameservers automatically. This would give us control of the DNS, thus, allowing you to make edits to your DNS through your GoDaddy.com account.
Setting Nameservers for Your Domain Names
Once the nameservers have been parked, you can use the FAQ from Google, or our tool, to update the DNS to point to Google Apps.

Thanks Donald, that worked perfectly.
Took all of 2 minutes to get the new Name Servers to show in the CPANEL after changing to Parked mode.
Then the Google MX Changer tool you guys offer worked just fine.
Will check back later tonight/tomorrow to see if the records have propagated enough for me to continue.
Thanks again.

I was glad that I could be of assistance! Please let us know if you have any other issues/concerns. Please bear in mind that propagation can take 48 hours for your MX Records to complete.
