Following up from my post from yesterday, I just checked my naked domain today with browsers that didn't work before I made the updates described above, and it worked!! So problem solved. You just have to add the period (".") to the end of "ghs.googlehosted.com." then do the Domain Forwarding from @ to www on your main domain settings page. It took a day for this to start working. Yay!

Hey all, I was having the same naked domain forwarding issue and couldn't set up Domain Forwarding on my Sq Space domain page. Kept getting the same issues that others above mentioned when trying to SAVE the forward rule. But I think I found a way to fix it. This applies to Google Sites hosted websites. When you add the CNAME record as shown below, as instructed by Google Sites when you add the custom domain to the Google Sites settings, I did not have the period "." after the CNAME. See image below (no period at the end). When I added the "." so the CNAME is: "ghs.googlehosted.com." (without the quotes), then I was able to create and save the forwarding rule in Sq Space domain page. It said it should take 24-48 hours to start working. Fingers crossed! I just did it, so will check again in a day or two to see if it's working. But this is farther than I was able to get before, so hopefully it will work!
