[Help] I am looking to buy a custom domain
Regarding setup of the domain name, Google already has good documentation so check it out here, https://support.google.com/blogger/answer/58317?hl=en
now Godaddy and BigRock and most of the other services do accept paypal so that wont be any major issue either.
coming to extension, bro, better you first find a very good TLD rather bothering about extension since it doesn't make any sense to save a few bucks for a lame TLD in favor of a specific extension.
So it would be better if you first select a good TLD first.. by the way, for which blog you would require the TLD ??
Buying the domain
First you register with Godaddy, BigRock or such service and then put in your domain name (which you have already searched and found to be available) and go for the registration !!! It would be a pretty straight forward process
Regarding rates
Search Google for coupon codes for Godaddy and BigRock as those coupon codes can give so some discount in new registration, ranging from 10% to few bucks too :D
do I need to create separate account for the new domain in the GWT and Feedburner??
You can use your existing account.
so answer the other questions please...
What else is remaining ??
As for the .org, fine, i too see its available, so dont waste time before some takes it, so go on and book it..
And solution which you took after that ???
i wonder then whether it was a problem or rather blessing to lost the original one
Then I guess advise should be be lazy and wait till some one grabs your domain as you will then get a better one..
The time taken varies. For me, I think it took less than 12 hours.
You can check your DNS propagation here.
http://techstake.org/ is giving 404 error.
but I can't save that in my blogger account
All that you enter in your blogger account is the new custom domain name. Nothing else.
From this page :
Update your Blogger settings
Before you move onto this step, wait about an hour for your DNS settings to activate. If you attempt to change the publishing settings before the DNS changes activate, then we'll let you know with a warning message.
So, may be you'll have to wait for some time.
@Aditya..
As per ICANN, ISP and DNS services operators has 72 hours for the job, some are fast, some are very slow (state owned BSNL, ) in the process..
As for your domain, I can view your website (using Open DNS)..
So congrats
@Aditya..
Header looks back, please add a high quality header image
I have just submitted a ticket in order to change my url...I hope Renie will act faster this time
Should not you have changed it after the rank as with new domain, rank will come low i guess , unless they are treated as same
ahh.. nice..
You should read this it will help you a lot :- http://www.crazytechsolutions.org/best-hosting-service-for-website-or-blog/
Aditya was talking about using a custom domain for his blog and not about hosting. So, your link here is irrelevant.
ok but if he buys domain he will also need hosting so I posted the link
He is using Blogger + custom domain so he doesn't need hosting.
Anyway, it's alright.
Oh i thought he is gonna host wordpress sorry
