I want to use a domain I bought through Hostgator with my Google Cloud Platform project.

Do I use the hostgator nameservers on Google Cloud DNS or the other way around?

Thanks,

  • When you say "Gcloud project", do you mean an AppEngine project? If so, simply follow the instructions [here](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/using-custom-domains-and-ssl?hl=en). – Zachary Newman Sep 22 '15 at 15:36
  • you could create the zone records in cloud dns for the Hostgator domain and the nameservers you receive for zone, should be configured in Hostgator as the nameserver – user3547151 Sep 25 '15 at 05:30

    Why -1? It's a valid question. Answer was here: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/setting-up-dns?hl=en – Dave Sep 30 '15 at 06:50
  • This is a genuine/valid question, which I was also looking forward to reading a real answer... Evidently, nobody appears to have understood it (the question wasn't a "how-to", but rather a "which-one" question...). The link provided in the accepted answer is great in explaining the two optional approaches, but it doesn't recommend one over the other, which I think is what the OP was trying to decide... – sergeidave Feb 16 '16 at 05:04

On Gcloud compute engine, help on DNS configuration for custom domains can be found here:

Yes, you need to use the Name Servers that has been generated automatically from Cloud DNS and edit your Domain Registrar Name servers. It should be similar.
