I'm not familiar with 1and1 DNS hosting, but if they won't let you create a txt record then you will need to switch your DNS hosting to someone who does.
From a quick google it looks like 1and1 won't let you do this*

SLaks is correct, Google is not a registrar, but namecheap.com, hover.com and networksolutions.com are all registrars you could look into transferring for domain to. Here is a blog post on how to transfer from godaddy to namecheap.com: blog.jeffepstein.me

Adding a DNS record to your domain's configuration is probably the easiest option for you. The other options require you to modify files on your web server, which you may not have set up if you are only interested in email.
Instructions for NameCheap:
Get the verification code from Google. Make sure you have chosen the DNS method. The code looks something ...

The full Guidelines are here: http://code.google.com/appengine/program_policies.html
From what I read you can use the App Engine for commercial purposes. From what I read Google lets you use it for free to get a taste for what it can do. There specific usage limit is
An application on a free account can use up to 500MB of storage and up to 5 million ...

So it sounds like you're concerned that Google App Engine will work and scale for you, but you're going to get to a point where you exceed their capacity to host you without being costly. Is that right?
I think the thing to do here is to have an "exit strategy" for your App. I think you need this regardless of whether you exceed Google's limits or not. What ...

See this question and my answer over at ServerFault.com. When you have a CNAME, you cannot have other records of different types on the same hostname. This isn't a limitation of 1&1, it's a limitation of DNS itself.

From Google Webmaster Tools support:
We recommend that you don't delete the file from your server.
Better stick with their recommendations since it's a small file and won't cause you any trouble.
Edit:
Some people there say that their Google Apps Email got broken after they deleted their verification file.
Edit 2:
You can also verify by DNS, you won't ...

The "Max CPC" field is the maximum you wish to pay per click. If you enter a Max CPC of $100 then you will never pay more than $100 per click, so the average will always be less than $100 - in this case $6.08.
However, restricting it to $10 Max CPC means you're cutting out all the clicks from $10 to $100, therefore the average CPC will be less.
Quick ...

It's not clear to me if you can manage the DNS of your domain or not. In order to configure your domain to use Google Apps, you must be able to configure your DNS records. In particular, you need to be able to change MX, CNAME and A records.
You can find more here:

Eek... I believe something like this happened to us on a test domain (I think it took a couple of weeks to be resolved though). There is an 'emergency' contact for Google. The only thing I could find was a 'service unusable' contact phone number (shown at our admin page):
Google Apps phone line available for service unusable issues

I know this is an old thread, but the problem with 1and1 not allowing SPF records still exists, so I wanted to share my solution to the problem. 1and1 will allow you to use an external DNS server, and we chose GoDaddy.com Premium DNS for only $36/year. It's easy to set up the records (with a little help from tech support -- the configuration is called an ...

Google Apps is one that we are considering. However, they are charging $50 per user, per year. Not so bad, considering the quality and the features they offer.
It's free for less than 50 users which makes it a great solution if you're working with a small company.
Rackspace Email hosting is fairly cheap coming in around $24 a year per user versus $50 ...

Google apps standard edition is free for up to 10 user accounts (with unlimited email aliases and distribution lists which google calls nicknames and groups), it sounds like this would meet your needs, you can sign up here.
Beyond that most hosting companies offer email account management and usually a free webmail client like horde on top of pop3 and IMAP ...

No it is not. You can buy a domain at GoDaddy or any other registrar. Then use it as your blog through blogger. You will need to setup a CNAME

you have to add MX records on the same DNS server where your domain name is handled
In case you are using a hosted domain, Google is providing instructions for the most common ones here: http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?answer=140034

GMail has no IP or region restrictions. What you could do though is enable 2-step verification to add further protection?
This requires two steps in setting up, one at the domain level:
Go to your Google Apps administrator control panel.
Click the Advanced tools tab.
Under Authentication > 2-step verification, check Allow users to turn on 2-factor ...

I've migrated all my e-mail clients to Google Apps. They are all on the free version (up-to 50 Users, not as much space and not as high as a guarantee for uptime).
50 Users doesn't include groups / aliases
You still get the normal gmail space of about 10GB
The uptime is still over 99.9%
Since '07, I've only had my clients call me two , maybe three times ...

The A-record only specifies the server (IP address) where the domain is hosted. Redirecting a domain is entirely different. If you have example.com and you want to redirect to yoursite.com the A-records for both domains would likely point at the same server (although they don't have to).
When the server sees a request for yoursite.com it will just display ...

Good luck with that one. The short answer is: No, there is no way of transferring existing Google accounts into a Google Apps for Business Account. I have tried. There's just no way.
You can transfer some data to your new Google Apps account or at least make it accessible from there.
Please see for yourself here, it's the ultimate Google migration list, ...

There are three ways to acheive this with google apps (standard or enterprise)
Create a 'nickname' (otherwise known as a email alias). This will allow any email sent to info@example.com to appear in the inbox of me@example.com.
Create a group (otherwise known as a distribution list). This will allow email sent to info@example.com to appear in the inboxes ...

In fact, I was signed up for the Free edition, but misunderstood the UI. Three things happened that caused me to misunderstand:
Google Apps are transitioning to a new billing system, so my new domain's Google Apps UI looked different from my old domains' UIs. It has a "Billing & Subscriptions" tab. I thought this meant I must have done something ...

If I am reading this correctly, you are trying to do the following:
Send out purchase confirmation and receipts from your e-commerce websites
Allow users to reply to those emails for support
Third party services like PostageApp and Postmark will definitely let you do the first, but you need to be able to receive the emails that customers send back right? ...

Google Apps includes a variety of ways to divert mail to multiple inboxes, however, there is not (to the best of my knowledge) any reliable way to send and receive e-mail through Google Apps while sending and receiving e-mail through a cPanel server under the same domain. The following solution allows you to make full use of Google Apps' excellent spam ...

Your SPF include for Google Apps is outdated.
Use the following:
include:_spf.google.com

For reference, the record at _spf.google.com contains a significant range of Google IP addresses and should cover all cases where Google is sending mail:

If you own a VPS, try setting up hMailServer.
Update:
Was thinking the same. Great free option. I use it for my own VPS.
The only catch is its Windows only, and I bet the cheap solution mentioned won't be using Windows likely.

The solution may depend on both lists settings. You should always simulate with test lists, before implementing on the real list.
Using one forward email account subscribed to both lists, customized settings and email filters may solve the problem. Gmail accounts have some basic filters, but gmail (and other free providers) will not forward if you send to ...
