Setting Up Netfirms' Domain Name with Blogger's Custom Domain

I bought a domain name from Netfirms a couple of weeks ago i must say they have one of the cheapest domains out there. I Googled for infos on how to setup the domain with Blogger's custom domain and what i found was a bit lacking. So i decided to make a complete guide on how to do it. Hope this helps. :)

1.Login to your NetFirms Control panel

2.Go to Domains > Domain Manager settings

3.To configure your A Record click on the “+” button next to the domain you wish to use

4.Click the "A Record" check box and add the following IP addresses.

216.239.36.21

216.239.34.21

216.239.38.21

216.239.32.21

5.Click on add.

6.To configure your CNAME record. Click the Sub-domain tab

Enter your sub domain name as www

Click the "CNAME" check box, Enter ghs.google.com as your Host Name

7.Click on add.

These usually takes up to 24 to 72 hours for the domain name to propagate. With my experience it only took  an hour to propagate.


For those who don't know how to setup Blogger's Custom Domain here is a quick guide on how to do it.

1. Login to your Blogger account select blog you want to use with your Domain.

2. Click on Settings > Publishing > Switch to: Custom Domain

3. Blogger is going to ask to "Buy a domain for your blog" but we already have one so just click on "Switch to advance settings"

4. Enter your Domain Name then Save Settings.

5. Lastly, After saving a check box for redirect will appear. Click the check box  to redirect YourDomain to www.YourDomain.com then save settings.

and.... your done.

Finally Done with Crafty Cart for Blogger

March last year i was playing around with Crafty Cart – a free theme for WordPress e-Commerce store created by Billion Studio especially for King Cart.

I Started porting it to blogger around summer last year but wasn't able to finish it due to tons of work in the office. Also i later found out the somebody already ported it to blogger. You can checkout Beta Templates blogger version of Crafty Cart here.

Couple of weeks ago experimented with Dot.Tk free DNS service. Using Dot.Tk's free DNS i was able to use Blogger's custom domain and create an online store. You can checkout my experiment by going to www.FlowersPhilippines.tk  and this inspired me to finish Crafty Cart. Unlike Beta Templates version mine is a fully functioning online store powered by Blogger.com. Currently the checkout process is handle by Paypal but i will try to integrate Payvments shopping cart in the coming weeks to handle both Paypal and Google Checkout. You can go to FlowersPhilippines.tk to see Payvment in action.

Without further adieu... Here is my version of Crafty Cart for Blogger by 1ijack

I feel like keeping this one for myself hehehe or maybe not! :)

My next project is wpStore. Hopefully it won't take me another year to finish this.

Using Blogger's Custom Domain with a Dot TK URL

Been using Dot TK redirection service for 5 years now. Recently i learned that they are now offering free DNS service. I wanted to test this out by using Blogger's custom domain. If you are currently using a DOT TK domain just login to your My.Dot.TK account and modify your domain, select "Use Dot Tk Free DNS Service" and configure using blogger's A and CNAME records.
