Yes, you can customize a Google Site to a new domain name. Here are the steps:
Option 1: Use Google Domains
- Create a Google Domains account and register your new domain name.

- Scroll down to the "Custom domain" section and click on "Add a custom domain".
- Enter your new domain name and click "Add".
- Follow the instructions to verify your domain ownership and set up the custom domain.
Option 2: Use a third-party DNS provider
- Set up a DNS provider (e.g. Cloudflare, Namecheap, etc.) and configure your domain name to point to Google Sites.
- Go to the Google Sites dashboard and click on the site you want to customize.
- Click on the "Settings" icon (looks like a gear) and select "Site settings".
- Scroll down to the "Custom domain" section and click on "Add a custom domain".
- Enter your new domain name and click "Add".
- Follow the instructions to verify your domain ownership and set up the custom domain.
Verification process
To verify your domain ownership, you'll need to add a TXT record or a CNAME record to your DNS provider. Google will provide you with the necessary information to add to your DNS settings.
Tips and considerations
- Make sure to update your DNS settings before updating your Google Sites settings.
- It may take some time for the changes to propagate and for your custom domain to be recognized by Google Sites.
- If you're using a third-party DNS provider, you may need to configure additional settings to ensure that your custom domain works correctly.
- Keep in mind that custom domains may have some limitations and requirements, such as SSL certificates and redirects.
