Dear Carol, I have a weird related problem. I verified with CNAME but didn't save the CNAME label or CNAME destination target and now I can't figure out how to find those again to connect the domain. Any help? Since I'm already verified, I can't find those by verifying again.
@@entertainmentroyale2456 can you go back to where you entered the info - where you purchased your domain - the DNS area?
@@CarolsTechnology I can go to the dns area but the cname stuff needs to come from Google sites as you showed. It's just not available after as far as I've seen. I've removed the domain and reapplied it but it's already verified so I can't see that page again.
When you go to the settings of the Google site do you see the domain set up? When you start the set up is when it should show . Are you the owner of the site?
Perfect, thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Thank you for the clear and easy to follow instructions Carol -
You are very welcome, glad they helped!
Thank you! This was crucially useful!
Glad it helped!
Carol...!!! I never get the blue check and the next.. Why?? I am stuck.
Are you the owner of the site?
Very well explained !👏👏
@@ktoday3219 thank you!
I was looking for a step by step video, and bingo, your video came up. Thanks to you, I've saved time, so I'm very grateful. Super clear, super summary, easy to follow and very visual. Thank you so much. We should all visit your photography website ! Google should consider getting in touch for their Help sections. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you!! It's comments like this that really make my day and please do visit my photography website!! I would love Google to get in touch with me!!
@@CarolsTechnology FYI. I bought a name with Hostinger and it's a real pain in the a. Customer service is below zero and they just copy-paste threads from the Google Community that date back to 2019.... the prehistory. 😕😕
Helpful video. Very clear instructions. I also have a google site linked to my domain. The issue is that if someone types in the domain without www. it shows a 404 error. At the end of your video, you did a search for yours without the www. with success. I've been trying to fix this so both options will bring you to the site, with no luck. Any suggestions?
I double checked and when I put in the www, it does go to the google URL. Did you choose the www option when you set up your CNAME? Also, how long ago did you set it up? Did you give enough time?
Great and clear explication! Question: What drove your use of CNAME verification rather than TXT?
I tried countless times with the TXT record unsuccessfully, and the CNAME just verified instantly. That is one of the reasons I created the video, I knew others also struggled.
Hey carol My domain does not let me add more than 2 periods in a row. Could you help me fix this?
It’s only supposed to be one period though
@@CarolsTechnology Nevermind.
Thanks,, please teach more
Thank you!! Just give me subjects what you would like to learn!!
@@CarolsTechnology Leonardo AI
Many thanks for you brief introduction to the G drive changes. At first I thought that I had been hacked. Generally I am quite happy with the change, but what I do miss is being able to colour my TEXTS or CELLS in G sheets (excell) which is quite imortant to me. I have tried alll sorts of ways but to no avail. Can you help. Thank again.
Can can colorize any cell or text in Google Sheets by going to the icon menu below the text menu. If you don't see the paint bucket, select the 3 dot eclipse to the right and more items will show.
@@CarolsTechnology Thank you so much for your prompt reply. To answer your question, the text icon 'A' and the paint bucket are both visable as are all the others on that row. All the others work except the text and bucket. 😢
And you are in Chrome? not a different browser? Have you cleared your cache and cookies lately plus if you go to the upper right to the 3 dot eclipse in Chrome, go all the way down to settings, then in the right menu, 3rd from bottom, it says to reset settings. Give that a try. Also try in incognito mode and see if it works.
@@davevowles8093 also are you the owner of the document? Maybe that’s why you can’t do that type of editing. Go into the file menu and make a copy and then see if you were able to colorize.
@@CarolsTechnology Hi Carol, I am very impressed wiith you persevering to help me on such a minor topic. I am out most of the day, I will have a look at your idea later. Wishing you a lovely day.
Perfect and clear. THANKSSSSS
You're welcome!!
CAROL I could just give you the biggest hug right now. I spent way too many hours trying to figure this out and even spoe to numerous tech folks for help and kept hitting a dead end. This worked! I can sigh with relief right now. I will say that after I put in the first CNAME, I did get verified but I still could not move forward with the next step in Google sites. I did not know why so I read the comments to see if anyone else had this issue. You recommended clearing the cache, so I did that and I was able to move forward! Gosh, I can't than you enough! I would give you 20 thumbs up if I could.
Thank you!! I made this video specifically because I also struggled with it and was determined to find the exact steps to make it work!!! It used to be so easy when Google sold domains and you could just hook your Google Site right up without any extra steps!! I really do appreciate your works!!
What if I clicked "Verify Later" by accident?
I would restart the process. I wouldn’t verify later because the domain won’t show if you don’t verify it right away.
@@CarolsTechnology It’s not my site’s current domain.
@@kd-flare You might have to remove the other domain.
How do you add an assignment to multiple classes?
@@rjjgdunn you might have to go into each class individually to add the assignment. I don’t think it’s like Google classroom where you can assign to multiple classes.
how to remove all my Google Drive activity
On your computer, go to myactivity.google.com. Above your activity, click Delete . Click All time. Click Next. Delete.
I am FOREVER saving this!!! Thank you so much for the best instructional video out there on this topic! I’ve had tech people employed by the domain that couldn’t help me! Thank you so so so much!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much! This really made me smile!
@@CarolsTechnologyNooooo, thank you!! I have been fighting with this step for a year!!! And finally 💥 you gave the best instructions ever! Thank you!!!
Hi Carol, Thanks for your video! Still I'm having this problem: I cannot access my website if I don't previously add "www". If I don't add it, it says that the page doesn't exist. Is it possible to do something about this? Thanks!
@@camilaillustration I would double check your setup to make sure you did it correctly.
Thank you! 🙏 May you have a wonderful day!
You’re welcome and you have a wonderful day as well!
Can you do this for multiple websites? I have one site published currently. I have purchased a new domain and need to set up a new site.
I don’t see why not. I am sure you have to perform these exact steps every time, though you can’t skip any steps. You always have to verify that it is your domain no matter how many multiple domains you have and you’ll still have to set the DNS up separately for each site.
Thank you so much Carol! this made this process much clearer and efficient than the pages of 'helpful tips"
Thank you!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
My son is IEP but not getting what he need from Pottstown school
It's supposed to be out everywhere for everyone and it still hasn't been explained. Why would you open docs? You haven't explained anything about what you're even doing.
I have been waiting for it to be available for someone else I know. That is why it is in the "labs" because they are experimental. I opened a Doc because it shows where the feature from labs is and how it works. I am sorry if you don't see it there, you would need their lab installed.
Also, do you have a workspace account, that is also needed for this.
My menu does not have a Custom Domains option. Any ideas?
Are you the owner? Only the owner of the site can see the custom menu.
@@CarolsTechnology Yes, I'm the owner and the domain is verified. Thanks so much for replying.
@@GregWallis is it through a Google workspace? And if it is then Google site has to be turned on in the workspace and you have to have the ability to add a custom domain.
@@CarolsTechnology Yes, it's a Google Workspace, paid for, and Sites are definitely turned on. Again, thank you for your kind reply.
@@GregWallisare you the admin?
Personally, I want to buy a custom domain for my future websites someday.
Thank you so much Carol! I watched several long-winded videos before this that were more harmful than helpful, and yours was perfectly to the point and explained everything perfectly!
Thank you! I appreciate that! I know I want a video to just show how to do something!!
GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR HELP
So glad that I could be of help!
I did all that and my domain does lead to my website, but it's not added in my url
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.
@@CarolsTechnology I just added it today
@@CarolsTechnology It says invalid DNS
@@stellarfax It can take 24 hours to populate. Check tomorrow. I actually had to redo mine to get it going. That's why I created the video. They don't make it easy!!
@CarolsTechnology Thank you, I will get back to you Thursday
THANK YOU for this! The update was making my eyes and neurodivergent brain nuts (and felt like it undid my hard-earned organization in there).
I know!!
Hi, do the data files, emails from your host server will transfer to the google custom site?
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.

Are you Carol Albright the Proposal Manager from the outskirts of NY?
No I am not
@@CarolsTechnology thank goodness, she was a nightmare You've made a brilliantly useful video btw, with perfect navigation and accurate attentive focused elements
@@X.A.V.l.E.R. Phew! Glad it isn't me!!! And thank 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.
Did you check the admin in the Google Console permissions? support.google.com/a/answer/6399230?hl=en
@@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.
@@hellokane Thank you for this. I was having the same issue. I don't know how you figured this out but you're a life saver!
@@hellokane Same for me. Thanks for your steps - they, and this video together, worked perfectly! 👍🏼👍🏼
This was super helpful and clear! Thank you!
I’m glad you found it helpful Angela!
Thank you very much❤
You’re welcome!
Not Sure: Hoping you could advise. I just want to stop public access to the Google Sites URL rather than my Custom url
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- great video! QUESTION- Once you have added your custom domain, do you need to delete access to the google site URL?
Where would you delete it from?
Where TF did Selective Sync go???
Selective sync is not available in Google Drive File Stream, but it was previously available in the Google Drive Sync app. However, you can customize your Drive for desktop settings to exclude files from syncing: On your computer, open Drive Click Menu Settings Preferences Advanced Settings Check or uncheck the file type boxes to sync or ignore files www.multcloud.com/tutorials/google-drive-selective-sync-1234.html
Thx! this guide did the job!
Glad it helped!
I have watch 5 different videos before I came to your page, and I must say you are awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Very detailed, straight to the point even with the changes they have made to date, was able to get it done!
Thank you!! I really appreciate your words!!
Is there a way to make the category totals visible in the gradebook?
No there is not. You can export the grades into a csv file if you need to see totals.
Thank you 🤓

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. Here is a link for some providors: www.forbes.com/advisor/l/best-web-hosting-services/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw65-zBhBkEiwAjrqRMLSlwdblOxsnvV_O8D8Sawy4470VAYC84kXHVCrCDAGHArgAqPHfphoC0CkQAvD_BwE
@@CarolsTechnology ... I don't have money for that.
@@BRICKCONE Unfortunately that is the only way
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
Hi Carol, is this only available in an enterprise edition, I can't seem to find this on my free google account. Thank you.
I just checked and it is only in the enterprise edition. I try to be better about that when I make a video, saying which edition. Google Meet is available though, you could record in a Meet which will automatically save your recording in your Google Drive. I apologize about that!!
