How do I locate my DNS record and CName for Google Sites?

Please help! I have purchased a domain through Go Daddy and have been trying to connect it to my Google Site for the past 4 days with no luck.

The problem is I cannot locate a DNS Record for my Google Site.

I have spent over 10 hours trying to trouble shoot this and have tried the Google Consoles and Clouds. I also have tried to restart the 3rd party domain setup over again multiple times. Nothing works.. it’s literally like my Google Site has no DNS record.

Please help. At this point I feel like I wasted money on a domain and it’s causing me to launch my website late.

Please privately email me my dns records information. I hate that their is not a customer service number.

See the Google documentation: Use a custom domain for your site

In short it says, "Settings → Custom domains → Start setup → enter your domain".

This should show you the DNS records, but more importantly, the process will internally add a mapping of the domain to the site within the Google Sites servers (like how you'd have ServerAlias in Apache).

DNS records can be defined using just a CNAME to the existing subdomain, but having just a DNS record is completely useless if the web server doesn't know what it is supposed to serve for the domain that was requested.

Please privately email me my dns records information. I hate that their is not a customer service number.

We are also not your customer service, either.
