No Immediate Solution For 1And1 Customers Amongst Unverifiable Custom Domains

Since Blogger restored Custom Domain Publishing concluding month, with the novel domain ownership verification requirement, at that topographic point convey been a few complaints from customers of closed to registrars who only can't render the required DNS address record for ownership verification.
My registrar says that I can't convey ii "CNAME" records inwards the same subdomain.
and
My registrar's domain director magician displays an fault maxim "Address also long.", when I crusade to add together the "CNAME".
Blog owners contacting the registrar, in addition to scream for for help, are by in addition to large told
That's Blogger's problem!

(Update 2012/11): Blogger Engineering has provided a workaround for this problem, alongside whatever uncooperative registrar, such equally 1And1 - use of a (free) 3rd political party DNS host.

What non all spider web log owners realise is that the novel "CNAME" must live on only that - at that topographic point is no substitute here.

Some of the to a greater extent than patient spider web log owners convey made diverse suggestions, to teach us moving towards a solution.
  1. Blogger Support needs to run alongside the employment registrars, in addition to convince them to better their service.
  2. Blogger Support needs to render an alternate ownership verification physical care for - perhaps equivalent to the Google Webmaster Tools meta tag verification procedure.
  3. Blogger Support needs to build clean upwardly their "CNAME" setup instructions, in addition to take away scream of the employment registrars - hence hereafter spider web log owners won't select these registrars to host their domains.


About 3/4 of the employment reports convey come upwardly from customers of 1And1. Using that registrar equally a starting point, I contacted Blogger Support in addition to suggested the 3 alternatives, outlined above. The Blogger Engineer responding seemed to mean value that exclusively proposition #3 - cleanup of the per registrar "CNAME" improver instructions was straight off possible.

It's possible, then, that nosotros volition eventually run into less employment reports from 1And1 customers - in addition to hopefully others - equally Blogger Engineering cleans upwardly their domain setup instructions. The electrical current customers of uncooperative registrars, unfortunately, are unlikely to run into relief, for the close future.

This is an unfortunate province of affairs for these 1And1 customers. The best solution for them is to movement domain registration to another, to a greater extent than helpful, registrar. Unfortunately, most registrars don't permit domain registration transfers straight off subsequently initial buy - waiting periods of 30, or fifty-fifty threescore - days are normal. And domain registration fees are non refunded.

This leaves novel 1And1 customers, in addition to similar victims, alongside several options - none of them good. First, publish the spider web log dorsum to BlogSpot, hence the spider web log tin live on accessed past times existing readers.
  • Wait thirty - threescore days, alongside the domain dead, hence transfer domain registration to a to a greater extent than helpful registrar in addition to activate.
  • Purchase a minute domain, from a to a greater extent than helpful registrar.
  • Forget virtually custom domain publishing.
The latter alternative has motivated several victims to select a quaternary alternative.
  • Move their spider web log hosting to a different service.
None of this tin live on expert for Blogger's reputation.

Use 3Rd Political Party Dns Servers, For 1And1 Domains

Not all registrars are able to back upwards the novel Blogger domain ownership verification requirement.

Some registrars won't permit a minute "CNAME" inwards the same subdomain - together with others can't handgrip the excessively long target address. Ever since Blogger added domain ownership verification, we've been seeing complaints from around spider web log owners, who direct maintain purchased domains direct from registrars who can't supply the required DNS addresses on their servers.

Even though non all registrars direct maintain DNS servers that volition supply the correct DNS address entries, almost registrars volition permit us to piece of work 3rd political party DNS servers. The piece of work of publicly available DNS servers, which tin give the sack supply the required DNS addresses, volition eliminate the necessitate to transfer domain registration - when the registrar is unable to supply the correct DNS addresses, using their ain servers.

If you're trying to setup your domain, purchased from 1And1 or a like registrar, y'all necessitate exclusively to setup a suitable 3rd political party DNS server.

If your registrar limits their services, piece of work a 3rd political party DNS host.

Use of a 3rd political party DNS host volition also help victims of the eNom DNS Infrastructure problem - together with those who purchased Name Registration, direct from the registrar.

An explanation of the solution is provided, past times Blogger Engineers.

Marc Ridey, of Blogger Engineering, provides How to setup your Blogger spider web log amongst a custom domain from 1and1.com, together with adds iii elementary steps to the normal 3rd political party registrar domain setup process.

  1. Setup a (free) ClouDNS account.
  2. Setup your normal DNS addresses (plus the domain ownership verification "CNAME", if required) inwards ClouDNS, using the ClouDNS Domain Manager wizard.
  3. Setup your domain, using your registrar's domain managing director wizard, pointing to the ClouDNS DNS servers.

Do each step, ane at a fourth dimension - together with banking venture gibe your work.

When y'all update DNS addresses, such equally adding additional hosts, together with ownership verification, y'all piece of work the ClouDNS Domain Manager wizard.

Note the caveat, for advanced domain owners.

If y'all are using your 3rd political party registrar because y'all direct maintain non Blogger services (a spider web site, email, files, or other service) hosted past times the registrar, delight banking venture complaint the alert past times Marc!
Warning: If y'all are using 1and1 hosting services to display a website equally good equally a Blogger blog, these instructions volition disable the website. Please post a comment amongst your website address together with I'll banking venture gibe how these instructions must last updated. If you're using eMail, scream back to consummate the optional eMail step.

Note that ClouDNS, when setup, may offering the choice to redirect the domain origin (aka "naked domain") to the "www" alias (or whatever DNS address y'all may setup). For best results, ignore that option, together with piece of work the Blogger or Google Apps redirect.

There are yet exclusively three acceptable DNS models - piece of work of ClouDNS, or whatever like 3rd political party DNS host, volition non alter that.

This may non last a perfect solution - merely it volition create a stable domain.

This may non last an ideal solution for the work - it introduces a combat of complexity into the domain setup process. This volition permit owners of newly purchased domains from 1And1, Network Solutions, together with others to get their domains verified, together with instruct their blogs online again.

Since this starts amongst spider web log owners who elected to buy their domain direct from a registrar - together with setup the domain themselves - perchance it's non also much, technically.
