I've been digging for an answer to my question, but my searches keep turning up edge cases, which surely this is not. As is often the case, Google's own support either over-answers or doesn't provide answers for specific use cases. So here I am.
I use G Suite for email, calendars, and docs, and that's pretty much it. I host no web sites with G Suite, nor do I wish to at this time.
I have a third-party web host, with a website ready to launch, and I am trying to get DNS correct for this website.
My single domain, for email and everything else, is groceryoutlet.us
I want to keep my emails flowing through G Suite, but I want the naked domain name and the 'www' domain name to point to my website over at the web hosting company.
Do I really need all those A records for Google's servers?
A @ 216.239.32.21
A @ 216.239.34.21
A @ 216.239.36.21
A @ 216.239.38.21
AAAA @ 2001:4860:4802:32:0:0:0:15
AAAA @ 2001:4860:4802:34:0:0:0:15
AAAA @ 2001:4860:4802:36:0:0:0:15
AAAA @ 2001:4860:4802:38:0:0:0:15
Or do I only need the A record for my web host?
A @ 185.58.213.84
Or both?
I also have this A record:
A @ 74.208.236.253
which appears to be an IP address for the DNS Host I currently use (IONOS).
I already have Google's MX records in place:
MX @ 1 <aspmx.l.google.com
MX @ 5 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com
MX @ 5 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com
MX @ 10 alt3.aspmx.l.google.com
MX @ 10 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com
along with:
CNAME calendar ghs.googlehosted.com
CNAME mail ghs.googlehosted.com
CNAME webmail ghs.googlehosted.com
The web host suggested this as a CNAME record:
CNAME www groceryoutlet.us
How do I correctly point my domain to my web host with all these A records, which only seem to muddy the waters?
I don't dip into DNS very often, and any help or critique would be appreciated.
