My team and I have recently purchased a Google Domain, but when trying to have the website it is connected to, it only gives us the options of website builders. We have a GitHub repository with all of our files that we want it to host, but again, only website builders. Can I make my Google Domain connect to a custom HTML page?
To set up a domain name for an HTML website, you will need to register the domain name with a domain name registrar. Once the domain name is registered, you can then point the domain name to your HTML website.
You can use a custom domain for a site published on new Google Sites. Using a custom domain can make it easier for people to find and remember your site with a web address like www.yourdomain.com. To use a custom domain for your site, you can: Select a domain from your Google Domains account (if you have one).
You can host your content on GitHub and serve them with GitHub Pages
https://pages.github.com
You can have your Google Domains domain point to it.

You'll need to add a CNAME file to your repo with your domain URL in it. Add it manually or follow the instructions here.

You'll need to add some A records at the Google Domains control panel with the IP addresses of GitHub's servers (currently 192.30.252.153 and 192.30.252.154).
