Now before you edit your Blogger settings, you need to decide whether you want search engines to index your blog with the 'www' or without. As for me I would prefer the 'www' subdomain option and just redirect the main or naked domain name to the url with the 'www'. Generally speaking, create the CNAME record for a subdomain is the best option. What are the advantages with creating the CNAME record for a subdomain? If you have the basic 1and1 package which is the INSTANT DOMAIN, you can make use of the 1 mailbox account included and have access to 1and1 Webmail. Or if you prefer to host your emails somewhere else like Google Apps, you will have the option to edit the MX records. Take note, domain.com and http://www.domain.com are considered 2 individual domain names.

What you need to do in addition to the above steps is setting nameservers from Google's end. The steps to be followed are detailed here: http://amiatypist.blogspot.com/2010/04/domain-not-working-without-www.html Hi,

However, #2 is a bit confusing - I'm not sure if you mean you add the C NAME to subdomain or the real domain? I noticed this site isn't hosted by blogger. Interesting. Great setup.

Judging from comments, it worked until Spet. or Nov. 2008. It's possible Blogger changed its settings since then. This blog is not hosted by Blogger any more.

When I enter http://mydomain.com for custom domain, I get the error: "Blogs may not be hosted at naked domains. Blog host names must have a subdomain. For example, try: www.mydomain.com" There is a help page for naked domains too: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=139485 Did you have the same problem when you tried to use a custom domain? I’m not sure if Blogger changed its settings but the step 3 of your tutorial doesn’t work.

Did you have the same problem when you tried to use a custom domain?

The blogger is able to sniff your custom domain and it targets it with your blogspot address. This works very well, and it succeds http://www.flightstoindia.in well it works beautifully.

But I discover something easier. When I use domain from namecheap.com.<br/>What I do is, I just change both of the www and @ dns into ghs.google.com. with CNAME(alias) type, then at the subdomain part, i redirect the url blog.ensmarketing.com. At the blogger setting page, I simply tick the box that redirect the ensmarketing.com to www.ensmarketing.com. DONE!<br/>Now you can check out my blog at:<br/>http://www.ensmarketing.com<br/>http://ensmarketing.com<br/>http://blog.ensmarketing.com Thanks for the great post.. But I discover something easier.
