✅ 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.

[qayyumaris]

Concise & clear explanation, love your video!

[waytech_officialchannel]

Thank you for this updated nice tutorial, I wanted to connect my website for quite some time and freelancers charge what might be expensive, I can but a couple of pro domains and get hosting instead.
Great tutorial, easy to understand.

[Summerdays]

Thank you so much. Every step so easy to follow. you save me every time. cheers

[Elliora-Designs]

Wonderful and informative video. Thank you for the tutorial!
I am having an issue once I get to the last step (www) of the process. I use Hostinger and when I type "www" into the Name box, a warning comes up saying "DNS resource record is not valid or conflicts with another resource record". As I am a novice in this field and do not know what I am removing from the DNS records list, I am at a stand still.
What should I do?

[brightleonard]

lovely video, insightful! Quick question Do i need hosting before i publish my Google site?

[netlinkeducationalcoursest]

Thanks for the video.
What about hosting your new site after changing the domain name?
Is it free?

[aybey]

Thanks a lot Steward. With the help of this video I could do it easily. As a next step I would like to link the multilingual google sites to the same domain with different sub directories. (Like …/fr or …/de)

I searched but I couldn‘t find any material explaining this. Is there a video or sth that you could recommend?
