Adding a custom domain (hosted with wordpress) to a google site

    Hi, I purchased a custom domain in WordPress and I also created a Google Site because it gives me more freedom to customize the webpage without having to pay anything. I want to continue hosting my domain with WordPress, but I want to use it (or add it to) my Google Site.

    So, is it possible?, what choices do I have?, how to do it?

    PS: Excuse me if I don’t use the proper words, I have a very basic knowledge about this stuff.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    Right now, your custom domain shows the content on your WordPress.com site: http://leonardoquerovirla.com/

    If you’d like to use the custom domain with your Google site, so it shows that content instead of your WordPress.com site, that’s no problem from our end. However, please note that Google only allows custom subdomains. That is, Google doesn’t allow you to map the root domain leonardoquerovirla.com to a Google site — only subdomains like http://www.leonardoquerovirla.com or site.leonardoquerovirla.com.

    You can find Google’s instructions for that here: https://support.google.com/sites/answer/99448?hl=en

    You can make the changes to your domain from Store > My Domains in your WordPress.com dashboard. We have a guide for changing your DNS records here: Custom DNS

    Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
