You May be Confused on how to pack your 1&1 Domain to your blogger, Because it is not like Godaddy Well, I will Guide you through out this though, i found this TUT on Mridey Blog, i just feel like sharing it with you... Lets Get Started :)
Step 1: Get the Blogger settings
- Go to the basic settings of your blog in the Blogger UI.
- Click the "Switch to advanced settings" link
Enter the sub-domain and domain you would like your blog to use.
In my case, I purchased domain "bloggeronline.info" and choose to have my blog use "blog.bloggeronline.info".
Note that you need to specify a sub-domain like "blog" or "www" with your domain name. Then press "Save". It will fail with "Error 12". This is expected.
You will now see two lines displayed that need to be configured on the 1and1 website.
In my case the two lines are:
blog, ghs.goog.commf3relchxuxx, gv-kgyql46c766bxw.dv.googlehosted.com
The first line is always the same for everyone, the second line is specific to your own blog and your own account so don't copy my example, it won't work.
Step 2: Go to 1and1.com dashboard
- Go to the 1and1.com website, login, go to domain management
- Click the check box on your domain and select DNS -> Edit DNS Settings
Select DNS, Other IP address and enter 216.239.32.21 and press OK and go back to the 1and1 Overview dashboard.
Back on the dashboard, click New->Create sub-domain
Enter "blog" (or www, or any other string you want for your blog, press OK and go back to the 1and1 Overview dashboard.
Select CNAME, enter "ghs.google.com", press OK and go back to the 1and1 Overview dashboard.
Enter the first element of the second line we saved in the Blogger settings, mine was "mf3relchxuxx", yours will be different. Press OK and go back to the 1and1 Overview dashboard.
Select CNAME, enter the second section of the second line. Mine is "gv-kgyql46c766bxw.dv.googlehosted.com", yours will be different.
Press OK and go back to the 1and1 Overview dashboard.
Now you should have two sub-domains and one domain listed in your dashboard, something like:
Step 3: Wait and wait ...
We need the new settings entered in 1and1.com to be public and visible to Google. This can take up to 48h although usually it's more like 3h.
Step 4: Return to Blogger and apply the custom domain again.
Go through the steps listed in Step 1. If the domain has been registered correctly, you should no longer get an "Error 12" but instead your domain should be accepted and this screen appear:
Click the edit link
Make sure you click the "Redirect" check box and press Save again. This will make your naked domain (yourname.com in my case) also work for your blog.
Thanks and feel free to ask any question.
