Image via WikipediaGoogle Sites is the fastest, cheapest (Free!) and one of the most powerful service you can use to host your business web presence. In this article, I will go through a scenario where you have a Google Site hosted on one domain, and wish to move it to another domain.If you prefer text only, direct instructions, Steegle.com has an excellent article.
In this example, I will show you a website I host at the domain elegant-solutions.com, and moving it to another domain i-reno.
You will need to add the owner of the new site's email address to your contacts. Otherwise you will get this error "You cannot transfer ownership to jibby@i-reno.com. Owners must have a Google Account."
Go to http://contacts.google.com and add in the contact.
Next, navigate to the URL of the Google Site you wish to move, then use the shortcut key g then m. Alternatively, click on More Actions on the top right corner, and then click on Manage site.
On the left hand navigation panel, under Site Settings, click on General. Scroll down until you can see change who can access this site.
In the Add people box, type in the email address for a user from the target domain you wish to transfer to. Set the role to is owner.
Now the user from i-reno.com domain will be listed to have full control of the site.
Next, sign in with the account used to manage your i-reno.com domain. Go to Manage Site again, and on the left navigation bar click on Site Settings -> General. Scroll to the bottom and click on Copy this Site
Now give it a new name and web address (URL). Don't see an option for http://
Go to your Google Apps Dashboard, and navigate to Settings -> Services -> Sites. Under Site Settings, click on the Web Address Mapping tab. This page is accessible using the URL https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/
Click on Add a new web address
Type in the full http://sites.google.com/a/
