For everyone who have use google site will have long url name. This is the example of google site url http://sites.google.com/site/createyousite123/and it's really hard for people to remember this kind or url. Of course we could not complaint too much because it is free services, however we still got an alternative to make our url link shorter, easy to remember and nice look.We also able to assign this domain to our gmail email by changing on MX record on new domain. That mean our email address will be  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .


Requirement

User need to sign up with free DNS provider such as CO.CC:Free Domain. We can get short url from this DNS provider. There are also a lot of another free and paid DNS provider outside there with different package and pricing. All the domain name need to renew every year.

Step 1: Sign up with CO.CC:Free Domain to get free domain name

Click on Gettting a new domain on the menu and we will get checking domain availability page as per image below.
For this case, nobody has take createyoursite123 domain yet. We will continue to registration page which ask you all the detail for contact information. Upon successfull of domain name registration, we will get email notification to setup a domain name.



Step 2: Set up free domain name

Now we are going to setup domain name we created earlier, click setup button next after your new domain name. We need to setup this domain name less than 48 hours or our registration will be canceled by co.cc web engine. After we click on the setup button, we will got 3 option as per image below.


From here we will choose option 3, URL Forwarding which is really easy solution. You can also assign your email MX record by choosing option 3.

Step 3: Input URL and MX Record

We need to put our hard to remember url in this form after we choose option 3.The image will look like below

Click Setup button to proceed the setup. Please don't worry if your site not appear after you input http://yourdomain.co.cc because it will take 48 hours or less to propagate with network.

Conclusion

It's fairly easy to get free domain name and assign with our free google site. This free domain name services also allow other option which is offer by paid domain name service provider. The only drawback here is we could not put www at the first part of our domain name. If you prefer to putwww.yourdomain.com so better go direct with paid domain name services.
