Google sites domain linked to dns. But still unable to load the website

DNS records are linked to google sites and verified.
But website is still unable to be loaded.

What is the domain?

ecovisionaries.org

I registered the domain as ecovisionaries.org
But can’t seem to access the website, neither www.ecovisionaries.org

ecovisionaries.org doesn’t have a DNS entry. Likely you will want to redirect that www.ecovisionaries.org using Cloudflare when that is working.

www.ecovisionaries.org is proxied. If pointing at Google using a CNAME to ghs.googlehosted.com set the DNS record to “DNS only” instead of “proxied”.

May I know what do I enter for a DNS entry for the first one?
And how do I redirect the www using cloudflare?

Slight typo, should have said…

Likely you will want to redirect that to www.ecovisionaries.org using Cloudflare when that is working

Step-by-step first. Set the www DNS record to “DNS only” and check you can reach your Google site at www.ecovisionaries.org first.

Hi There

I’ve changed the DNS to DNS only. But the website still fails to load

The site is now unproxied and traffic is going direct to Google.

Your site (at Google) is answering for HTTP and redirecting to HTTPS…

curl -I http://www.ecovisionaries.org
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Content-Type: application/binary
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
Expires: Mon, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT

Content-Length: 0

X-XSS-Protection: 0
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

…but HTTPS isn’t working as there’s an SSL problem. It may fix itself when Google sees the CNAME in the DNS, but otherwise you will need to check with Google to get that fixed. When it’s fixed, come back and we can do the redirect on Cloudflare.

curl -Ivv https://www.ecovisionaries.org

curl: (35) error:0A000126:SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading

It’s now working and as there’s a redirect on Google for the apex domain, nothing more for you to do.

May I also know the website link you are using?
I can’t seem to load any pages with the domain :frowning:

This. is what i see

Sorry, the apex domain is working for me as the browser is adding www. Try www.ecovisionaries.org as that should work.

So let’s set up the redirect from ecovisionaries.org…

First, add a proxied (it must be proxied, not “DNS only”) record for @ and set it to A 192.0.2.1.

Then, go to redirect rules in your dashboard here…
https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/rules/redirect-rules

Copy this example exactly, just changing the example hostnames:
smallshop.example.com → ecovisionaries.org
https://globalstore.example.net → https://www.ecovisionaries.org

Hi there, I need some help updating the redirect rules.

While @sjr included all the information necessary to create the rule, perhaps this will help you see the parts that you are missing.

Thank you everyone!
