Question:

I had a blogspot blog, last wednesday I thought I would make ‘it official’ and got a custom doman through blogger. It says I do not have to do anything else if it was purchased through them. I haven’t done anything but register my domain address with google. When I try to access my page atwiredjuice.com, it says HTTP 404 NOT FOUND. It has been a week and my site should have been working by now correct? Is there something I am not doing right? I have done everything it says on their HELP page and emailed them, but again, nothing.

Answer:

1. By Wiesel:
I was having a very similar problem. I switched back my blogger custom domain to my blogspot address contestedfooty.blogspot.com then back to the custom domain contestedfooty.com/ and it seems to have worked. It might be a problem in blogger, or maybe finally the DNS settings propagated, i don’t know. It’s a least worth a try.

OK, the primary symptom is normal:
“Server Not Found Error 404″

DNS is normal (needs improvement):
wiredjuice.com. 1800 IN A 64.233.179.121
wiredjuice.com. 1800 IN A 66.249.81.121
wiredjuice.com. 1800 IN A 72.14.207.121
www.wiredjuice.com. 1800 IN CNAME ghs.google.com.

Better would be:
wiredjuice.com. 1800 IN A 64.233.179.121
wiredjuice.com. 1800 IN A 72.14.207.121
www.wiredjuice.com. 1800 IN CNAME ghs.google.com.

Having improved your DNS (if you’re able), publish the blog back to BlogSpot, then re publish to “www.wiredjuice.com”.
