Today we’re going to learn how to transfer your domain name to your Google Cloud Platform account. Now, this is an especially useful tutorial for you before finalize the deploying your WordPress website on Google Cloud Platform.

If you were still not using any domain name then, first go to the domain name provider site and search your name. Add this in your card for further checkout.

Once you have a domain name and you already are done with deployment of WP Engine on Cloud hosting. okay then you are ready for this tutorial

Here you’re going to enable the DNS API. So right next to the dashboard above on-screen – click “enable API.”

You already have it enabled cloud DNS API. Once you have that completed, head down to “Networking.” and to “Cloud DNS”

Now we’re going to create a new zone. In my case, the domain I am going to point to my Google Cloud Website is ‘freenaukrialert.in‘

Enter the name of your website in the ‘zone name field’ is going to be like FreeNaukriAlert. your “DNS name field” with website root DNS name like ‘freenaukrialert.in.’ Click on the ‘Create’ button.

3- Add DNS Records in Zone Detail

All right – so we’re going to add a new record set link appear in the next step.

we’re going to set an “Add DNS Records.” Select A in the ‘Resource Type Field.’ And we need the IPv4 address. Now the way to find IPv4, go through the next step or image.

Just open up another Google Cloud Platform tab to click on the hamburger menu above the left-side and navigate for Compute Engine > VM Instances. Here is our external IP Address, Copy this.

Add another record as a CNAME record. Enter ‘www’ in CName Field, Select CNAME in “Resource Record Type field” and finally your domain name in the “Canonical name field”.

4- Configure NS Records on the domain name provider site

Now our next step is to point domain from our Domain Name Provider to change our nameservers. I use GoDaddy, but you can use whomever you want, the procedure is similar.

Copy all 4 NS records that already generated automatically during the setup of “A” and “CNAME” records.

Now Go to your domain name provider site for login.
