To point your domain to Google Sites, first, you need to configure your domain in Google sites platform, then open your domain’s DNS Zone Editor. We will add A and CNAME records.
Step 1 - Adding A records
A records that you need to create at the domain’s DNS Zone:
Record #1 | Record #2 | Record #3 | Record #4 |
Host: @ Points to: 216.239.38.21 | Host: @ Points to: 216.239.36.21 | Host: @ Points to: 216.239.34.21 | Host: @ Points to: 216.239.32.21 |
The result will look like this:
Step 2 - Adding a CNAME record
You only need 1 CNAME record with the following values:
Host: www
Points to: ghs.googlehosted.com
It will look like this:
After that, you will need to verify your domain (STEP 3) with Google, it might take up to 4 hours to Google recognize your changes and accept your new domain.
And it's done! Now just wait for propagation and your website will work with Google Sites.
NOTE:
If these records for the same host values were already added, you need to delete them before adding new ones.
