I have registered a domain (though there is no hosting yet, just name registration) and I am trying to set up google apps so that I can have email, but I cannot figure it out. Is there something I am missing? I feel like it should be easier than it is right now.
You need to correctly set the MX records at your registrar.
Have you proved domain ownership including a CNAME record in your DNS server? Just follow the instructions.
If you don't have access to your DNS server for adding records, and don't have a webserver where you can put a verification file I think you wont be able do setup e-mail.
If you already have the domain, you just need to follow the registration process, you will be taken through all the steps. If you got to the Admin Console you should have a message bar Top of the page with Verify Domain.
the best way to do it is to try the new Learning Center, http://learn.googleapps.com/.

I was working on a publishing platform of sorts where users can sign up and create a blog for themselves. Currently I was planning to host it on https://vercel.com. How would I set up something so that users can use their own domain and get only their blog on that domain. I'm sorry if the question is a bit too broad but if someone could point me in a general direction I would be very grateful. The only thing that comes to mind would be setting up a DNS server and then using that to route the users domain but I don't know if that's the right way to go about it. Thanks in advance for your help.
The users would have to point to your nameservers on their DNS record if they control the domain. You can learn more about nameservers in this article: https://serverfault.com/questions/355887/why-does-dns-work-the-way-it-does
What you can do is provide them with a subdomain of the domain of your publishing platform such as:
user1.publisher.com
user2.publisher.com
Subdomain records reside within the authoritative record for a domain, so you can add and remove them easily.
I am having some difficulty setting up my SendGrid account to connect to my DNS on Cloudflare and enable custom domain whitelisting for two domains.
My plan is to deploy emails from my Clickfunnels' Actionetics account. Currently, my integration into Clickfunnels is a success and I was able to receive an automated test e-mail (from my custom domain) to my personal email address. I understand that I should be able to send emails from any e-mail address I need (support#domain.com, hamid#domain.com, info#domain.com) without needing to physically needing to go through any setup process to get these emails up and running. Initially when I went through the SendGrid setup, I needed to add 3 CNAMES to my Cloudflare DNS. Everything successfully installed without any issues from Cloudflare. After speaking with Support, I was told that I might need to retry the whitelabel wizard with automatic security off. Going through this wizard should give 2 txt's and one MX (mail exchanger) record instead of 3 CNAMES.
"Automating security allows the system to redirect ISPs to SendGrid to check DNS records that follow strict security protocols and are custom to your account. Due to a character limit on TXT records, we are only able to create a custom SPF (sender policy framework) record for users with up to 11 IP addresses. This will not affect deliverability. You would have to go through the whitelabel process again."
If you have experience in this type of issue, please let me know what you think.
This is one method the I recommended.
“white-label the domains again but this time completing it with automatic security turned off. Going through this wizard should give 2 txt's and one MX record instead of 3 CNAMES.”
"Automating security allows the system to redirect ISPs to SendGrid to check DNS records that follow strict security protocols and are custom to your account.

Thanks, I hope you can resolve this.
I can't understand your question.
SPF is kind of TXT record, it can help receiver know email comes from right ip address.
Whitelabeled Domains help receiver know email really comes from the right server.
Sendgrid need a subdomain and two well-know subdomain to verify your identity.
I have a site and i created an email for it like email#domainname.com
Im not intend to continue use the server but i will need the email.
The domain still have 9month to expire and i will renew that.
Will i be able to use it if the domain not point to any server?
If not,would it be a good solution to use a free server and point the domain there?
I tried it once to let the server expire and i couldnt log in then but maybe it was other error.
Thank you for your help
Yes, You can use your domain mails but you will have to point your MX record to one of the mail provider. If you want you can use google mail services for your domain but it's not free
OR
Try to find out cheap mail services provider.
Hoping someone might be able to help me here. Normally when we set up for a client, we own and have control over the domain, with our own private WHM server. In this case, the client already registered the domain using their tech dept. Their techs, simply directed it to the IP address of our servers, so the domains are going to the awful splash page WHM provides, but it doesn't seem to be going to the account that I set up for it in the WHM.... What am I missing? I can log in with the domain and login settings I set up for the account under PHP... but the domain itself in a browser, isn't working...
Ok, I figured it out, and am answering for those in the same issue. Flush your DNS ( cmd /ipconfig flushdns), and clear your cache, or try on another computer.
I've got a problem where I have a .co.uk domain of which I am the registrant but my web developers control the domain via easyspace.com. I'm not using the web developers anymore and it ended on bad terms so I would like to change my domain to another registrar without getting them involved. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks
In order to do anything with your domain, you need to be a registered user for it. for every domain, there 4 types of registered user:
Registrant/Owner
Administrative Contact
Billing Contact
and Technical Contact
If you do a whois look-up of your domain name you can see if you are one of those registered users.
If you are, you should be able to contact the Registrar of record (i.e. GoDaddy, Network Solutions, GKG, etc.) and gain an account control login if you do not already have a login for them.
Once you have an account, you can change the Name Servers thereby pointing your site to a different server than it is currently, or initiate a transfer to a new registrar (which costs money - typically the price of a 1 year registration)
Tell them to give you control of it. You're not asking them to do something for you, you're just demanding them to hand over what's yours (assuming the domain is yours).
If you own the domain name, you should be able to change the information with the registrar to point it at another hosting service or your own.
Change your domain host to point to a new name server that you control.
You may lose your web site code but can always start a fresh.
