I bought my domain Bonoriau.com from Yahoo last January. Since then I forward Bonoriau.com to my blog. Last to 2 days I decided to switch my blog bonotravel.blogspot.com and publish on custom domain Bonoriau.com.
I clicked the button confirm and hoping that the process will be automatic but unfortunately is not. It only automatic if we buy the domain from Google Custom Domain such as GoDaddy but not to domain from third party. After few hours I waiting but still no progress so I send email to Help Center.
Sir, I redirect my bloghttp://bonotravel.blogspot.comto my domain http://bonoriau.com. The domain I bought from Yahoo. I'm really hope that the management will approve the domain and publish my blog as soon as possible. Thank you very much for the assistant.
About 2 hours the Help Center replied my email :
You have to start with the DNS setup. Here's what you have:

I immediately study the problem I'm facing. I read line by line the facts and explore all the detail from the 2 links given to me. I go back to my domain center and change my DNS setting but still not working.
Later this afternoon I found very important note and immediately I change my blog to previous setting.
Right now, we have no experience with making a Blogger blog, published to the primary domain, work properly when Yahoo DNS is involved. It appears that the best solution, in this case, is to get a third party DNS service that supports "CNAME" referral, and avoid Yahoo DNS altogether.
Do you learn something from this experince????

Hi Bono! Connection speedy as usual today! Smlm I sempat drop sampai Thanks je ha ha! But what to do, cause it was really damn slow kan?
ReplyDeleteBono, I mmg tak faham domain-domain ni and after reading abt your problem, lagi la konpius!! But I'm glad ur site is up and running again, happy Sunday! :)
ReplyDeleteI tried to access into your blog couple of times during my Eid ul-Fitr break, but failed. I did drop you a comment on my blog about this here
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope you will get your own domain soon :)

ReplyDeleteMarzie what we can learn from my experience is don't use Yahoo domain if we want publish our blog domain. Use Google custom domain easy and automatic. Alhamdulillah my connection today MANTAP.
ReplyDeleteBluecrystaldude I already have my own domain but can't be use to publish my blog...but no problem this is experience to move forward next level.

I'm glad the redirect is okay now. Thanks for sharing what you've experienced. It will help the rest of us who will eventually get our own domains in the future.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, congrats on your new domain! :)
I'm not IT savvy so that explains why I continue blogging with Blogger. I'm not going to change and lose all my posts. :P
ReplyDeleteI was already wondering what happened to your Blog. Good luck for the next try?!
ReplyDeleteLJ thanks for the support. I saw your coupon on your site yesterday when I do my dropping. I just thinking and wondering why most of top blogger (99%) using wordpress not blogspot!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is ready a learning experience. Through learning, we can learn even more. I can access your blog site easily today.
ReplyDeleteKeep on blogging.
Bono, u transfer ni, you didn't lose any of ur posts kan? Semua masih ada yes?
ReplyDeleteBono 100+ readers here today MANTAP! Syabas Bono! :)
ReplyDeleteyayyy your back and I thought for a moment there I thought I had something wrong on my end hehehehe. Glad to have you back Bono and yes this does help us all a lot :) whew that must have been a frightful experience for yah.
ReplyDeleteCoolingstar9 thank you for the support. I'm not a computer back ground and always learn from experience and never give up. I always keep trying and trying till success.
ReplyDeleteMarzie Alhamdulillah breaking the record 1st time touch 100. Hope more will come. Thank you for your and all friends GREAT support.
ReplyDeleteMetz not really frighten. I want to do and willing to face the problem...I don't want to face the problem once the blog already BIG...I want to build this blog like a asset...heee
ReplyDeleteglad you're back! been trying to read your blog only to get the redirecting message.
ReplyDeleteBono.. because they say WP is better and they have more control over their blogs as in plugins and stuff.. but honestly I still prefer blogger lah :)
ReplyDeletewow that's the first I've ever heard about an issue like that.. I agree with LadyJava... when you have your own domain using Wordpress is tons easier (well I'm partial because I use it), and now they have an auto update feature so you never have to worry about manually upgrading your version or compatible plugins ever again. It's now EXTRA user friendly.
ReplyDeletesince you already have your own domain, why not move to wordpress? I know that you have to start most thing from scratch but it's wort it in the long run... just a suggestion la...
ReplyDeleteKristina I always thought that it will be easy...maybe Yahoo is also big provider so they have different system or maybe Google want to promote their domain...
ReplyDeleteShaxx I'm thinking to switch to wordpress but I'm really zero about the system
ReplyDeleteBono, wordpress is just like blogger but with more user friendly dashboard. you should try wordpress.
ReplyDeleteEmila actually already have one bonoriau.wordpress but still untouchable
ReplyDeleteI don't encounter problems yet with any domain since I don't buy at Yahoo. Have a nice day Bono.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Bono, maksudnya beriklan dimana di Harian Riau Pos (korannya) atau di websitenya (riaupos.com)?
ReplyDeleteMas Hendra Berapa harganya beriklan di koran dan di website nya.
ReplyDeleteI immediately study the problem I'm facing. I read line by line the facts and explore all the detail from the 2 links given to me. I go back to my domain center and change my DNS setting but still not working.
