Login to your domain name system provider.
Find the way to change DNS Record
Add a second record, selecting "CNAME" as the type. Under Host, list the subdomain you chose earlier set the answer to "ghs.googlehosted.com." (be sure to include the period), then click the green "Add" button.
*google-site-verification=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is to be substituted with the verification string you've got in last step
*for subdomains other than www (www.yourdomain.tld), please enter the subdomain you wish to connect to Google Sites (e.g., hello for hello.yourdomain.tld or mysite for mysite.yourdomain.tld, etc.).
NOTE: Redirect with a secure connection (HTTPS) is possible only for a destination domain (e.g. http://domain.tld to https://www.domain.tld if an SSL certificate is installed for www.domain.tld on Google's end).
If you need to resolve your domain (domain.tld) via the HTTPS protocol (to be able to use https://domain.tld), SSL certificate is required on your hosting/website provider end. This is usually included in paid subscriptions. You can check more details with your provider.
If you are verifying a subdomain (subdomain.yourdomain.tld - 'subdomain'part can be substituted with any subdomain of your choice ), your records would be as follows:
Type: TXT Record | Host: subdomain | Value: google-site-verification=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | TTL: Automatic - verifies your domain for Google Sites.
Type: ALIAS| Host: subdomain| Value: ghs.googlehosted.com | TTL: Automatic - maps subdomain.yourdomain.tld subdomain to your website.
Type: URL Redirect | Host: @ | Value: http://subdomain .yourdomain.tld | Unmasked - allows the visitors to access the site via a bare domain as well (e.g., yourdomain.tld) - this is not required if you want to use only the subdomain.yourdomain.tld
