How edit your Google Apps DNS

1. Log in to your account at https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/your_domain.com/DomainSettingsAdvan.... Be sure to replace 'your_domain.com' with your actual domain name.
2. To make changes to your DNS settings, sign into your DNS console with the login information provided on this page.

When you access Advanced DNS settings, you'll be directed away from Google, and to the domain registration partner that registered your domain name. This is currently available in English only.

Note: If you didn't purchase a domain name while signing up for your Google Apps account, you won't have Advanced DNS settings in your control panel.
