Hi, i have create the cname record www to ghs.google.com.
Then i have create the 4 A records to the google IPs.
Now my site is working with my new domain, but when i post into instances, then i need to verify by entering random Captcha letters for blogspot. Somewhere recommend me to use Blogger’s advanced settings to FTP the blog to my own domain. How can i use FTP Blogger?
Ehat kind of settings must i do?

@Jack Di - your blog is already setup properly with the custom domain name. If you want to change the looks, get some other template.

Hello Sir Aneesh.
Thanks for the prompt reply.

Mine domain was registered with eNom.
The A Records and CNAME are all filled up already. Maybe its the default. Can you please help me with this?

By the way, my new domain - JackDi - has been up and running with a Blogger look. And i want to customize it some more.

I really appreciate your response.
Thanks.

@Jack - If you have got domains, then you need to setup CNAME and A Records for the same.

Sir,

I have been wanting to buy a custom domain for my two newbie blogs ( Jack Di and Contest Web ). They are both under blogspot.com

If I already had my own custom domain names, how do i updated my blogs? How do i post new articles? Will i still be doing updates through Blogger?

Please enlighten me.
I am really hesitating because of this.

Thanks.

2010-07-08T04:44:16.427+05:30

Google’s Missing Files Host instructions are somewhat vague.
In my case, I could not create a CNAME with Plesk to the Blogger Missing Files host, but I was able to create an A record and point it to the IP address of my server and my files.
I created a sub domain called files.yourblog.com and copied my files into that subdomain.
Finally…my files returned.

2010-05-19T06:29:46.029+05:30

@Microscope World - The CNAMEs are not properly set up. If you are having a "Simple DNS Zone Editor" in your cPanel, then you will be able to create it by yourself. Otherwise you will have to contact your host to make those 2 records for you.

Ask the host to create a CNAME for blog pointing to ghs.google.com
and another one for www.blog pointing to ghs.google.com
The DNS changes will take little time to poropogate.

2010-05-18T00:11:57.622+05:30

I was formerly posting blog post to www.microscopeworld.com/MSWorld/blog.aspx. The FTP file was working well. I've set up www.blog.microscopeworld.com. Only problem is, in the migration when I directed 'blog' with a CNAME to ghs.google.com. it always continued to say "not hosted with blogger". I have tried to get blogger to help and they will not. My host assures me I have set up the CNAME properly. Any ideas here? I'm at a loss. I do not want to lose all the old posts, but can no longer post new ones either.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

2010-05-09T08:14:04.163+05:30

@Muqeet Soomro -
you have to create a CNAME Record and four A Records from your domain name control panel.
A CNAME Record for www pointing to ghs.google.com
4 A Records for @ pointing to 216.239.32.21 , 216.239.34.21 , 216.239.36.21 and 216.239.38.21 respectively.

After that you have to swicth to Custom Domain from Blogger > Settings > Publishing.

Opt For Switch to: Custom Domain (Point your own registered domain name to your blog) and switch to advanced settings and type your url www.arabiconlinecourse.net there

Thanks @Aneesh - I do link some of the blogs to my website - i.e. on christymerry.com if you click on update, it will send you to untangleme.blogspot.com, but I think that still means I'm still ok, right? (Sorry, I don't do any work on my website for the most part - an occasional web-savvy friend does the work if I need something, and I sadly have no idea what FTP means.)

2010-04-24T09:12:46.925+05:30

@Christy Merry - if all your blogs have urls which end in blogspot.com , then you are not affected and there is no need to do anything. But if you have a webhosting account, and you are publishing your blog to the webhost using the FTP account, then you are affected.In that case, you would have a non-blogspot url.

2010-04-24T02:12:24.899+05:30

I'm absolutely confused. I'm receiving this statement on my dashboard:

"You currently have blogs that are published using FTP. You must migrate your blogs to a new custom domain URL or a blogspot URL."

However, I've never knowingly used FTP. I just use the free blogger tool and all my domains are at blogspot.com (e.g. www.flyfreedarling.blogspot.com). Is there something I need to do?

2010-04-09T08:55:01.491+05:30

@Cammy - Blogger wont allow you to publish to a naked domain.i.e you wont be able to publish your blog to http://tippytoediet.com (They used to support it earlier.).So when you create the CNAME , http://www.tippytoediet.com will be pointing to the Google Servers. If you don't create the 4 A Records, then http://tippytoediet.com will still be pointing to your webhost. That is it will be pointing to your old FTP published blog.

If you create the 4 A records, you will be pointing http://tippytoediet.com to the Google Servers. Google provides a redirection option in the Blogger Publishing Settings(This will show up once you save the custom domain settings with your custom domain url). They will automatically redirect http://tippytoediet.com to its www version. Same thing will happen to all your blog post urls and others(a one to one redirect.its not that all pages will get redirected to the blog homepage)..

Thank you so much for this article. It's much easier to understand than the "official" articles I was reading.

If you have time for a quick question...I publish to what I think is called a 'naked domain' (http://tippytoediet.com) and when I read the google articles, I see references to setting up 4 A Name records. Is this step necessary in addition to following what you've suggested here?

Thanks for your help!

2010-04-08T18:59:15.944+05:30

@Pet Insurance- yes you are right. Once you switch to custom domain, your images will no loner be available at the old addresses. To resolve that you have to create a subdomain on your domain and move the files to that subdomain. Now you can set this subdomain as the missing files host. Whenever a file is not found at your domain, it will look in the missing files host and fetch it.. hope it explains.. If you use the migration tool, you will have to completely migrate your blog to some new url like blog.yourdomain.com but i think its better to go the other way..

2010-04-07T23:50:38.259+05:30

Hi - I've been reading and re-reading the official Blogger posts and all of the comments about this, but you have information that I haven't seen anywhere.

I was under the impression that I MUST use the Migration Tool to migrate my blogs (all of which are hosted at www.exampleblog.com domains now and not at subdomains). But if I'm reading your post correctly (and I hope I am!) then I only have to do what I've already done - create a subdomain for each blog (which I've called files.exampleblog.com already) and correctly configure the publishing settings in Blogger.

Is this right? Because I've been trying to use the migration tool and it is the most worthless thing I've ever used online. Only 2 out of 20 blogs have successfully completed their migration after four days of work on my part.

If you can confirm the above or tell me I'm misunderstanding and still have use the Tool, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

@Lucinda - The blog will stay there.. you wont be able to make new posts or edit existing posts via blogger, but the existing things will be there as such. I am not sure if users will be able to leave comments on your blog.

This is just too much for me. I think come May 1 my blogging days are over.
I am hosting my blog on my server. If I just stop adding new posts, will the old ones stay the way I left them? Or will they then become inaccessible?
