How to use Google Sites to Make Website with Domain

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how you can create your own web site with a domain name, including .com, .net, .org, and many others. I walk through how to use Google Domains to buy a domain and Google Sites to build the web site. At the end, we publish the web site. By the end of this video, you’ll know exactly how to build your own website.

Reasons I like Google Domains compared to other domain registrars:
• Pricing is simple and it doesn’t change year to year.
• Privacy protection comes included, hiding your name and address from the public.
• The interface is intuitive and simple similar to other Google products
• Use the same two factor authentication that your Google account uses for enhanced security.

    Hi Kevin, I followed your steps, thanks. How long does it take to become public available? I tried to put my website on google search, and nothing came up on the search. It has been one week since I registerd my domain, and followed your steps, and published



  11. Ujjwal Talwar on June 10, 2021 at 7:15 pm

    I cant find the option to build a simple site i.e use google sites, I am only getting the option for paid services. Can someone help ?

  18. Famaru Studios on June 10, 2021 at 7:26 pm

    Can we connect this website to our google analytics through Google tag manager



  19. Saloni Mahajan on June 10, 2021 at 7:26 pm

    Is there any way to zoom into the images in google sites?



  20. Divyansh | ISWKi on June 10, 2021 at 7:27 pm

    YOUR VIDEOS ARE ENOUGH TO ASK MY PARENTS TO PAY FOR ANYTHING



  21. farida jararah on June 10, 2021 at 7:28 pm

    Kevin, you explained this really well. I tried to follow along, but I already have a purchased domain. I’m not sure where to go to start building my site, but now I am also seeing that in a few months "classic sites won’t be viewable anymore." Not really clear on what that means? Will we not be able to create a free site anymore?



  22. Krish Konnect on June 10, 2021 at 7:31 pm

    thanks a lot. it opens up my mind even more for what can be done through google sites and how we can work towards achieving that.



  23. Jenis Minaya on June 10, 2021 at 7:31 pm

    how about if you already have a domain name?



  24. Harshali Patole on June 10, 2021 at 7:32 pm

  33. meelo99 on June 10, 2021 at 7:43 pm

    Could you please go over the order part. How to handle payments in a secure way and how to include paypal option?



  34. Myls Mira on June 10, 2021 at 7:45 pm

    This is the perfect video because I am currently working on building my website. But I was really confuse because it seems that getting a custom url with google sites is not free anymore? even if you purchase a domain. You need to subscribe to Google Workspace which charges you with monthly fee on top of th 12 dollar annual domain fee? Or there’s just something wrong with what I am doing.. Somebody here please help.. 🙂



  35. Dylan yanez on June 10, 2021 at 7:47 pm

    i presses order to just see the slide



  36. Carolyn Esico on June 10, 2021 at 7:48 pm

    I learned a lot from your video. Thank you



  37. Khasiano Webb on June 10, 2021 at 7:49 pm

    If anyone can comment, much appreciated…Is namecheap bad to use? Once I get any domain, I am wondering how to build the website fully coded? Any help is much appreciated!! Thank you



  38. Gopal Tidke on June 10, 2021 at 7:49 pm

    Best video ever ❤️



  39. James Benson on June 10, 2021 at 7:50 pm

    Best video.Thanks a lot!!



  41. Dylan yanez on June 10, 2021 at 7:53 pm

    but i did not want to order I just wanted to see what it looks like



  42. Ahmad Farid Barakzai on June 10, 2021 at 7:53 pm

    Hey Kevin, do we have payment widget options here?



  43. Robert Daniel Arnau on June 10, 2021 at 7:55 pm

    After you creat the website, do you need to get a host? I’ve been seeing this word around. Does Google host your page and domain?



  44. Mark Schollmeyer on June 10, 2021 at 7:57 pm

    This is too good to be true. So the domain is just $12.00, but the website and hosting is free? How is it that the hosting is free?



  45. TASAO IRSE on June 10, 2021 at 7:58 pm

    how to add a coding fr a google site..
