<How to connect the Wix domain to Google Sites?>

I've been using Wix for a few years, but with the recent increase in the yearly price for the webpage, I decided to part ways with Wix and opted for Google Sites due to its free service.

As my custom domain was originally purchased through Wix, I faced the challenge of connecting it to my new Google Site. Despite the abundance of information on connecting custom domains from other platforms to Google Sites, I struggled to find detailed explanations for each step. After a few weeks of trial and error, I found a solution.

1. First, transfer the domain away from Wix. 

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to transfer your domain away from Wix:

• Visit the Wix Domains page.

• Click the More Actions icon next to the relevant domain and select Transfer Away from Wix.

• Click Transfer Domain.

• Click I Still Want to Transfer. 

• Wix will send a transfer authorization code (EPP code) to your domain's registrant contact email address. 

• Once you receive the code, follow the instructions from your new domain host to transfer your domain.

2. Second, connect the domain to Google Sites. 

After successfully transferring the domain away from Wix, follow these steps to connect the domain to Google Sites:
