You may be able to use the Google G Suite version of Gmail to handle email for a domain you already own. Once you've signed up for Google's G Suite and verified your domain, you will need to change your domain MX records.
Note: Changing the advanced DNS records for your domain can interrupt your Turbify service. Turbify has a limited scope to assist with resolving issues that may arise from DNS setting changes. If you are not an advanced user, we strongly recommend that you not change these settings. (Learn More)
