CNAME Issue

I'm trying to add a ALIAS / CNAME to my domain.

Let's say : k.mydomain.com
I then pass in the site I want to point it too ( a Google Sites link )
something like this: sites.google.com/mydomain/k

When confirming this addition, it doesn't work and when I come back to look at it . it was saved like this:

sites.google.com/mydomain/k/.mydomain.com.


I have tried this now several times with no luck.

Can you please assist.

Maik

Hello,

You need to 'suffix' and period (.) at the end of whatever hostname your CNAME should point to. In the CNAME section, under ADDRESS, you should have the target CNAME host as:

cname.hostname.com.

Note the trailing dot at the end. It's required.

Please try and let us know.
