Ask How do you create a sub domain redirect with Google Domains?

[Brajet]

If you're setting up a 301 redirect using Google Domains, you can use the domain forwarding feature found under the "Website" section for full domain redirects. This method works well for forwarding a root domain (like yourdomain.com) or the www subdomain (like www.yourdomain.com). However, Google Domains does not support 301 redirects for custom subdomains (such as blog.yourdomain.com) through its built-in interface. To redirect subdomains, you'll need to use a third-party DNS provider, web hosting service, or a content delivery network like Cloudflare that allows advanced DNS and redirect rules. For SEO purposes, 301 (permanent) redirects are highly recommended, as they help preserve link equity and ensure that search engines properly transfer ranking signals from the old URL to the new one.

From my experience, Google Domains is easy for forwarding your main domain or www version, but it doesn't let you redirect custom subdomains directly. If you want something like blog.yourdomain.com to go somewhere else, you'll need a little extra setup. I usually use Cloudflare for that because it lets you create page rules that handle subdomain redirects cleanly. It's a free and reliable way to make sure your subdomain sends visitors to the right place without breaking SEO.

You can set up a subdomain redirect in Google Domains by logging in and selecting your domain. Go to the "DNS" tab, and under "Synthetic Records," you'll find an option for subdomain forwarding. Enter the subdomain you want to redirect and the destination URL, then save the changes. It's an easy process, and the redirect usually starts working after a few minutes.
