I have wanted to do this for some time, but have been stymied by the method.

I have a domain registered at one place, hosting at another, and would like to ditch my current host for Google apps. But here is the thing: Google needs the CNAME and MX records for web and mail routing to them from the registrar. But my registrar insists that the only information they “host” is the DNS, and that these records are provided by my host. That suggests that I need to pay for a host and a domain name on top of Google apps.

Can anyone explain where CNAME and MX records sit, and how to get them?
