hi Carol, i just wonder if Iwant to add 2 domains at the same time on one google site. thank you

With the second domain, I would think it would be redirecting it from where you purchase the domain name not from the Google site. I can do more research into this and get back to you

It's weird. It's seems for me that as of June 2024, the 'Custom Domains' option in Google Sites is no longer there. I had the ability to do this pre-Squarespace, but not anymore? I'm the Super admin for the Google Sites, owner of the Google Site page in question, and also an admin on Squarespace... Hm.

@@CarolsTechnology Yes. As I said, I'm admin for both Google Sites and the Domain Registrar, so permissions isn't an issue. I did figure it out though, but I'm not sure if I'm on an old iteration (I'm based in Canada) or if my steps will be rolled out eventually for everyone. My subdomain settings are now all in the Admin Console, under Apps > Google Workspace > Sites > Custom URL. It's actually kinda handy to have everything in one space, accessible from the admin console. All the subdomains are there, along with their respective target URLs. With this setup, the other thing I have to do is set up CNAME records the same way you've mentioned in your tutorial video.

@@hellokane I’m glad that you were able to figure it out and I will say Google is constantly changing the Admin - every time you think that you have something one way it’s changed and then you have to go in and figure it out again.

No one would have access to your Google site URL unless you provided it to them. You can’t delete it or not make it public because you want to visible with your new URL - people wouldn’t be able to find the Google site url

Hi Carol, I have a question. I cant seem to un-verify my ownership so I can get the first CNAME record to enter (the one with the gv- at the start) to put in my DNS. Is that part neccesary or it it just to verify as it auto verified me as I was using the same google account?

@CarolsTechnology

2 ай бұрын

I think as long as Google verified your ownership of the URL - you should be fine. Are you able to proceed?

I did all that and my domain does lead to my website, but it's not added in my url

@CarolsTechnology

When you go to your settings, to Custom Domains, it shows up there? How long ago did you connect it? If it shows there, highlight the url and right click and go to site or check it in incognito mode and clear cache and cookies.

Hi, do the data files, emails from your host server will transfer to the google custom site?

@CarolsTechnology

If you purchase an enterprise account where you get a url email. But that would be separate from what email does to what a Google site does.

How do you purchase a domain? it doesn't show it...

You go to a site like Squarespace or GoDaddy and search for what you want the name of your website to be then you purchase it.
