Sure! Here's a full, detailed blog post on how to connect a Google Sites website to a Namecheap domain and verify it using Google Search Console with complete step-by-step instructions.
🌐 How to Connect Google Sites with Namecheap Domain & Verify with Google Search Console
If you've created a website using Google Sites and purchased a custom domain from Namecheap, you might want to use your domain (like www.secureadda.online) instead of the default Google Sites URL (like https://sites.google.com/view/telegrambotservice/asd). This blog will guide you through:
-
Connecting your Google Sites website to a Namecheap domain
-
Verifying your domain using Google Search Console
🛠️ Step 1: Prepare Your Google Site for Custom Domain
-
Open your Google Site at https://sites.google.com/.
-
Navigate to your project site (e.g.,
telegrambotservice > asd). -
Click the gear icon (⚙️) on the top-right corner.
-
Select "Custom domains".
-
Click "Start setup".
-
Choose "Use a domain from a third party".
-
Enter your domain name, e.g.,
www.secureadda.online, then click Next. -
Google will display a CNAME record that you must configure in Namecheap (usually
wwwpointing toghs.googlehosted.com).
🌐 Step 2: Add the CNAME Record in Namecheap
-
Log in to Namecheap.com.
-
Go to the Dashboard > Domain List.
-
Click the "Manage" button next to your domain (
secureadda.online). -
Click the "Advanced DNS" tab.
-
Scroll to the Host Records section and click "Add New Record".
-
Add the following record:
-
Type:
CNAME Record -
Host:
www -
Value:
ghs.googlehosted.com -
TTL:
Automatic
-
-
Save it by clicking the ✅ checkmark.
🔁 Optional: Redirect Root Domain to WWW
To ensure secureadda.online (without www) also redirects to www.secureadda.online:
-
Add another record:
-
Type:
URL Redirect Record -
Host:
@ -
Value:
https://www.secureadda.online -
Redirect Type:
301 (Permanent)
-
-
Save the record.
🔒 Step 3: Verify the Domain in Google Search Console
🔹 Why verify?
Google needs to confirm that you own the domain before allowing you to connect it to your Google Site.
