How to Connect A Custom Domain to Google Sites (Updated)

Рет қаралды 46,554

Күн бұрын

In this tutorial, I share how to connect a custom domain to Google Sites.
This is the updated process that you need to follow in order to connect a custom domain to your Google Sites website.
If you currently do not have a domain you can use Hostinger (the domain provider that we use in this tutorial).
► Purchase a custom domain from Hostinger here:

*(I'm an affiliate with some of the tools that I use and recommend, meaning we will get a commission if you buy through them at no extra cost to you. This helps support our channel so I thank you in advance!)
Important:
If you can't see the domain option, follow this method:
👉 www.steegle.com/google-sites/...
You can follow this tutorial with any domain provider that you have used to purchase your domain name.
Google Domains has recently been acquired by Squarespace. In the past, we would typically use Google Domains for Google Sites.
✅ I created a functional CRM and business toolkit for Google Sites called Sheetify CRM.
This CRM connects to Google Workspace and allows you to send bulk 'personalized' emails in just a few clicks, manage clients, sales, tasks, and more!

✅ Important: If you cannot find the domain option in settings, you will need to enable the option inside your Google Workspace admin. See our video description for more details.

Hello. I followed the instructions for the link in your description and was able to connect my custom domain to the Google site, but anytime I don't start the web address with a "www" it goes to a 404 page. Is there a way to have the domain work without the www? Thank you!

After domain is verified, and custom record is added to domain provider, I've had to restart set up custom domain from google site, repeat verification step, and screen stops at auto-verified. There's not been a screen to continue adding custom domain after domain is verified. Perplexed. Do you need to temporarily unpublish your free google site url to be able to add the custom domain? I have a google domain that Squarespace now owns and an old CNAME record is on the DNS showing that. Would old CNAME need to be deleted? Thanks for any help.

Hey mate, That is odd! I suggest getting in touch with your provider.

My settings in Google Sites does not show "Custom Domain". What to do ?

@StewartGauld 7 ай бұрын

What type of Google account are you using?

@violetpaints 5 ай бұрын

it still doesn't work for me. It's complicated because in the past the domain was associated with my first google site. I didn't renew domain and lost it. A year later I purchase same domaine and try to set it up with a new Google site like I had done in the past. It just wont load.

Hey! That is odd. I would get in touch with your domain provider for solutions.
