Hi pple

What's your domain name? You need a DNS Zone for your domain and a CNAME within that

First, read the instructions as they give you various alternatives to authenticate. If you are not the one hosting your NS, ask your host to make changes for you. Typically, it involves adding a TXT record that google provides and then moving on from there. Regards, On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 7:10 PM, rsohan@gmail.com <rsohan@gmail.com> wrote:

The DNS settings are changed on the domain registration interface (or settings panel). You don't need to be hosted for this, but of course the domain needs to be registered. 2011/4/21 Paul Mathu <mails.mathu@gmail.com>

If I got your question right,the instructions for that are in the link below: http://www.google.com/support/sites/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=99448 You just need a registered domain,not a hosted site and you need to have access to the domain settings panel to change the CNAME record. Regards
Thanks for the pointers... Then i seem to be missing something on where to add the the entry on godaddy then.. Any leads will be highly appreciated.. On 21 April 2011 08:36, Gichingiri Kuria <gmail@gichingiri.com> wrote:

Paul, the initial steps for godaddy are as follows; · Log in to your account for yourdomain.com at www.godaddy.com by clicking the My Account tab. · Under the Domains header, click (Advanced Details) to the right of yourdomain.com. · Under the DNS Manager header, click Launch. ########please note that if under DNS manager you have (DNS Manager: (Not hosted here)), then it means you have name servers listed instead and therefore, it is the host for the name servers that needs to now add the txt section below. · In the TXT (Text) section, click Quick Add. · In the Host field, enter @. · In the TXT Value field, copy and paste the following unique security token: google-site-verification=random_google_generated_code · Leave the TTL drop-down as the default selection. · At the top or the bottom of the page, click the Save Zone File button. · Click OK in the pop-up. Have you gone past this? Regards, On Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 9:04 AM, Paul Mathu <mails.mathu@gmail.com> wrote:

Actually google and Go Daddy have the instructions for what you need to do : http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?answer=47610 and http://help.godaddy.com/article/680#cnames Just ensure that the host(subdomain for the alias name) is www. which points to *ghs.google.com *if you intend to your domain name to be mapped to your google apps site.
