Posted by Unknown | 7:27 AM | Leave a Comment

Google Drive is definitely an excellent service provided by Google. It let us to store our files online. From now Google Drive will allow web developers to host a website in it for free with 15 GB space. Different from Blogger and Google Site, Google Drive has not included the custom domain feature. But thanks to http://gweb.io who short the google drive link. Now you can use a short domain or even your own domain like www.example.com for your Google Drive hosted website. There is another URL shortening service special for Google Drive http://gdriv.es/. It's much simpler, just follow the instructions on the homepage and you are good to go, but you can't use your own domain.

Normal URL: 

https://googledrive.com/host/0BxhAEJ5WPt2SRnE1OTNaVHZPaXc

gdriv.es: 

http://gdriv.es/mbwlanding

gweb.io: 

http://mbwlanding.gweb.io/

http://www.yourdomain.com/

Custom Domain for Google Drive by gweb.io

Go to Site http://gweb.io. Then click on "Login". Then it will be redirected to a request permission Page and there click " Accept ".

Then URI would somewhat like yourdomain.gweb.io and " Domain? " box will be blank. Now go to your browser, type { yourdomain.gweb.io } and enjoy your website. 

Note : The folder should contain an index.html file of your website. Otherwise it will just display a list of files present in that folder.

Set up your own Domain

And in the " Domain? " box you can add your Custom Domain. But before adding  a custom Domain you have to do two things.

1. Modify your domain's DNS :

Login to your DNS management account. Add or modify [ www.example.com ] CNAME record and point it to [ example.gweb.io ].

2. Set your domain on gweb.io :

You have to go to the gweb.io panel and set [ www.example.com ] as the domain for [ example.gweb.io ]

Without www, if you want to access example.gweb.io via example.com , you need to set up the DNS For [ example.com ] like this:

Add/modify three A records and point them to:

    75.101.163.44

   75.101.145.87

   174.129.212.2

Note: Don't forget to add the domain [ example.com ]  in the gweb.io panel beside the URI link. See Docs for further information.
