How to Add a New Domain to Google Workspace: A Simple Guide for Businesses in Pakistan

Hey there! So you’re thinking about adding a new domain to your Google Workspace account? Great idea. Whether you’re running multiple businesses or just got a shiny new domain name, we’re going to walk through this together like we’re having a friendly chat over tea.

What’s This All About?

Let’s start with the basics. Adding a new domain to Google Workspace means you can use a different web address (like yourcompany.pk instead of yourcompany.com) with all the same Google tools you love. Think of it like getting a new street address but keeping all your furniture – everything works the same, just with a different name.

Why Would You Want to Add Another Domain?

There are lots of reasons businesses in Pakistan add new domains:

• You bought a new domain for your growing business

   

• You want professional emails for different brands you own

   

• Your company expanded to serve different markets

   

• You got a .pk domain to show your local presence

   

Real-life example: Imagine you run “TechSolutions.com” but also want to use “TechSolutions.pk” for your Pakistani customers. Adding both domains lets everyone on your team send emails from either address.

Two Types of Domains: Alias vs Secondary

Before we jump in, you need to decide what type of domain you’re adding.

• Alias Domain – Like having a nickname. If you add yourcompany.pk as an alias to yourcompany.com, then Sara can receive emails at both sara@yourcompany.com and sara@yourcompany.pk – all in the same inbox.

   

• Secondary Domain – This is for managing separate teams or businesses. Maybe you run a software company (techsolutions.com) and also own a restaurant (yummyfood.pk). Each domain would have its own users and emails.

   

Which should you choose? Use alias for the same team, secondary for different teams or businesses.
