Ever noticed how some companies log in to Gmail using neat links like mail.yourcompany.pk instead of those long Google addresses? That’s the magic of custom URLs in Google Workspace.
With this feature, you can give your business services short, branded links — making your company look more professional, saving time, and boosting brand trust.
At gworkspacepartner.pk, through our sister concern creativeON (an official Google Partner in Pakistan), we help businesses set up custom URLs every day. Let’s walk you through the process step by step.
Custom URLs are just easy-to-remember addresses for your Google Workspace services. Instead of using the long defaults, you set up shorter ones with your own domain.
Example:
Service | Default Google Link | Custom URL |
Gmail | mail.google.com/a/yourcompany.pk | mail.yourcompany.pk |
Drive | drive.google.com/a/yourcompany.pk | drive.yourcompany.pk |
Calendar | calendar.google.com/a/yourcompany.pk | calendar.yourcompany.pk |
Groups | groups.google.com/a/yourcompany.pk | groups.yourcompany.pk |
It’s like giving each Google service its own front door — with your company’s name on it.
Here’s why thousands of businesses use them:
Don’t worry, this looks more technical than it really is. Follow these steps:
Go to admin.google.com and log in as a Workspace admin.
No admin rights? Ask whoever set up your Workspace to grant access.
If you manage multiple domains, choose the one you want to use.
Enter the shortcuts you want to use. Popular choices:
Google will now ask you to add CNAME records in your domain’s DNS settings.
Log into your domain provider (e.g., GoDaddy, creativeON, Namecheap). Add a CNAME record for each service:
Type | Host/Name | Points To | TTL |
CNAME | ghs.googlehosted.com | 3600 | |
CNAME | drive | ghs.googlehosted.com | 3600 |
Repeat for calendar, groups, etc.
Go back to the Admin Console, click “I’ve completed these steps”, and wait for DNS propagation (usually 15–30 minutes, sometimes up to 48 hours).
If it’s still giving trouble — don’t stress. That’s where creativeON’s local support comes in.
