I am trying to configure our website and currently, we have two versions of it:

  1. Old website (v1) which uses http:// (without www.)
  2. New Website (v2) which uses http://www.

I am a beginner at this and im scared to delete records in my admin profile because we really need the website to work but if by mistake, I delete a vital record, it is hard for me to fix things because I am not knowledgeable with Google Cloud. Here is the record set page:

What I want to happen is to remove the http://pointblue.ph or at least redirect it to www.pointblue.ph. Any leads?

You need to add "pointblue.ph" to www.pointblue.ph's list of allowed domains on the server. Once you do that you can change the DNS of pointblue.ph to be a CNAME for storage.l.googleusercontent.com.

Here's how you tell if this is done correctly:

# nc www.pointblue.ph 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: pointblue.ph

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
<other response headers from the server>

Once this is setup the following will happen:

# nc www.pointblue.ph 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: pointblue.ph


HTTP/1.1 200 OK

If you try setting Host: www.pointblue.ph you'll see your webpage's html.

If you're worried this might not work correctly, there's something easier you can probably setup. Instead of the above, you can also redirect pointblue.ph to www.pointblue.ph. I don't know how to set this up with Google (Pages?), but almost every kind of webhost account has this ability. For a professional website you'll need the website for pointblue.ph to give a "301" or "302" redirect, which will quickly and transparently redirect the browser to load the www.* site instead.

It'd probably be worth getting a non-google hosted account if you can't set this up with Google's hosting.
