There is still traffic coming to the
site if only the visitors will include “www” to the domain prefix but not
everyone will be patience enough to add this to the domain name which if not
added will result to increased “Not found” which will drastically reduce the
visitors and the site will be removed from the list of Google Indexing page.
At the end of this tutorial, custom
domain can be used to visit a blog in blogger with or without the visitor
typing the “www” prefix.
Follow these steps properly to point
your custom domain to your web site if you register your domain through Google.
Go to http://www.google.com/a/domainname, replacing domainname with your
domain name. In this format “www.example.com”
Now you will need to login to your Google account utilizing a username
and password you previously created specifically for Google Apps for your
domain. If you do not know this information, click 'Can't access your account.'
Once logged in, click the 'Domain Settings' tab.
Click the Domain Names link.
Click on Advanced DNS Settings.
You will now see listed your domain provider (Namecheap,Go daddy) Google
Sign-In Name, Password, and PIN.
Click the link Sign-in to DNS Console and use the Sign-in Name and
Password as your login credentials
You will now be able to manage your domain name.
To Forward Your Domain Name
Check the box next to the domain name.
Select Forward Domain from the Forward
button in the gray menu above.
Enter the full URL that you would like your domain to forward to. Example:
(http://www.anotherdomain.com) if you
had set up another page you want your visitors to be referred to if your domain
is not available.
Click OK to save changes.
Allow 48 hours for the forwarding to take place.
Before your domain will start to forward, you will need to update your domain's A record and "WWW" CNAME.
To Update the "A" Record
Before your domain will start to forward, you will need to update your domain's A record and "WWW" CNAME.
To Update the "A" Record
From the Domain Manager, click the domain name.
Under the DNS Manager, click Launch.
You will need only one A record.
Delete the extra records (IP) by clicking on the DELETE "X" to
the right of the record.
Click on the remaining A record to edit.
In the Points to field, enter BLOG IP and you are done.
Now people can visit your website with or without the “www” prefix.
