Connecting my Google Domain/ Squarespace to Firebase App and a Subdomain to HashNode Blog

This week I wanted to update my website. The problem arose because my website is already setup with Hashnode as its main page. So let's do step by step.

Step 1: Connect our Google domain to our Firebase App

I will be following some of the steps mentioned in my previous article:

You can read my article on GoDaddy connection here: Seamlessly Connecting Your GoDaddy Domain to Firebase Hosting: A Step-by-Step Guide

I have followed the commands and now finally I am able to setup my website on Squarespace by adding the DNS records provided by Firebase into my Squarespace.

Step 2: Connect my blog to hashnode

Now I want blog.harishkunchala.com to redirect to my Hashnode Blog. So in my case here are the steps:

• Go to your Hashnode dashboard.

• Navigate to the blog settings and find the option to set a custom domain.

• Enter blog.harishkunchala.com.

After I entered the domain. I was greeted with the following instructions:

So we can login to our Squarespace and add the cname record.

Perfect. Now we just have to wait for couple of hours and finally our website and blog are going to point to different services.

NOTE: Generally Firebase and Hashnode provided free SSL certificates for our website. So I'd recommend waiting for couple of hours and we'll see the changes propagated across the entire site.
