What is a Domain

A Domain is an address that your customers will use to connect to your website eg www yourname.co.uk . If you already have a registered Domain then we can help with pointing it to your new google site. If you need a new Domain name then we will help you choose the right one for you and register this so you own the address. 

Connecting your domain name.

If you have found a domain that suits your needs eg. bespokepainos.com etc we suggest registering it via Google Domains as this makes it easier in our opinion to connect to your Google Site. You will also need a workspace account in order to use a personal domain.
