      I agree. I don't know why Google doesn't have an easy tutorial about how to do this on their site. Their help article does not talk about where to find the settings. It shouldn't be hidden behind 3 menus! Thanks so much for your help. You should submit tutorials to Google and work for them!

    When i get to 1:45 in the video, it only provides one of my domains, but i want to use my other domains. both domains are verified. why is it not showing the other domain name?

    • @Steegle
      @Steegle  2 роки тому

      Sorry fro the delay in response: the site needs to be created by an account that uses that domain as its sign in. You can temporarily rename an account to use the domain and make a copy of the site while the account uses that domain as its sign in, then the copied site will be able to use that domain as its custom URL.

    I have a question about my use case. I have a fully developed public-facing site. It is hosted on Bluehost and the DNS provider is Go Daddy. I don't want to change the top-level/primary domain to go to a google site. I want to continue hosting as it is. What I am trying to do is to have the Google site just be a sub-domain for my currently hosted site on Bluehost. Is it possible to do this with just a sub-domain while maintaining my current site? Is this possible? If not, would I need to just transfer my domain to Google Domains? THANK YOU for all the help!

    • @Steegle
      @Steegle  2 роки тому

      Yes this is exactly what these instructions are for, but instead of seeing the URL to www. use whatever subdomain you want to use. If you. DO NOT use Google Workspace then see the other video.

      If you are using the custom domain URL elsewhere you need to remove it from that other location first.

      @@heartakershopblues3740 no you cannot have a single subdomain pointing to separate sites: if you want them all on one subdomain then put all the pages on one site. You can have them on separate subdomains, e.g. sub1.example.com to one of the sites then sub2.example.com to another site. I don't know why you have decided to put these in separate sites as it sounds like they should all be on one site.

    I'm running into a problem at Step 3. I get the following text as an error: "Unable to check custom URL. Retry" I've created a CNAME record in GoDaddy as well as attempted to create a txt record under the main domain with the txt verification code. Additionally, I've tried adding Google Analytics to this site and verifying that way... I cannot verify the subdomain. It is hosted via GoDaddy and the main site is a WordPress site. However, I'm creating a Google Site for the Intranet. How do I verify my subdomain (main domain is verified) and how do I add the custom url?

      Are you using a personal Google Site? If so see www.steegle.com/google-sites/how-to/assign-custom-url-domain-personal

    • @Steegle
      @Steegle  4 роки тому +1

      We use Google Domains that offers free http AND https top-level/naked domain redirection to our www address, so we use Google Domains' synthetic records for this. In general if your domain provider doesn't offer this you can add an A record of @ (or your naked domain) that points to 174.129.25.170 (a free service from wwwizer.com).

      No Google Sites does not give any way to do this apart from having two completely separate sites. Google offers Google Translate built in to Chrome so is trying to rely on that but not everyone uses Chrome obviously.

    Thanks a lot for this - super useful. Is there a way that the address in the top bar remains as the custom URL rather than going back to the sites.google url? I have seen other google sites that seem to have this function, and it looks way more professional. Thanks in advance!

    • @Steegle
      @Steegle  3 роки тому +3

      The only time your site URL will revert to sites.google.com is if you have set the site to be private (if you do want your site to be private this is the intended behaviour). Make your site public and the custom URL will remain.

      If you want to use Google Workspace for your site you need to move the site into Google Workspace (you can do this via a Shared Drive or simply copying the site with your Google Workplace account - for more details see: www.steegle.com/google-sites/how-to/transfer-ownership). Once you have the site in your Google Workspace then you can follow the steps in this video.
