My first purchase online!

Now that I am now able to buy stuffs online using my debit card unionbank I bought domain name http://mons-p3.com just to try how it works, and so I can have a personalized email address.

I bought my domain at http://1and1.com which I was influenced by berryblog.net
For those who are interested to buy domain I recommend 1and.com

Setting-up 1&1 Domain for Blogger/Blogspot

I have successfully set-up this blog of mine to a new 1&1 domain.

The Idea:

I want to be able to load my blog as the following URL:

• http://berryblitz79.blogspot.com/
• http://berryblog.net/
• http://www.berryblog.net/

Do you have a 1&1 account?

You would need to register for an account to do the steps. After you have registered, you would need to wait for an email containing your login information. Once you have received the email, login to your account to start setting up your domain.


The Process:

1. Log-in to https://admin.1and1.com/

2. On the "ADMINISTRATION" tab, click "Manage Domains".



3. Your domain's status should be labeled as "Ready" to begin setting-up your domain. You can wait for about half hour to one hour. If the status does not say "Ready", try to delete your temporary Internet files (maybe cookies too) and re-log in to your 1&1 account.

4. Select your domain by checking the check box. Then on the domain list menu, click the arrow on the "DNS". Select "Edit DNS Settings".

5. Select CNAME on the "General settings". Then put ghs.google.com on the "Alias". Check the acceptance check box then click "Ok" button. You would be back to the domain list.



6. Again, select your domain by checking the check box. Then on the domain list menu, click the arrow on the "Destination". Select "Edit Destination".

7. Select Forward Your Domain on the "Destination". Then on the "Forwarding destination", put in the your EXACT domain. As for me, I put in http://berryblog.net. Select HTTP redirect as the "Forwarding type". Then click "Ok" button. You would be back to the domain list.



8. On the domain list menu, click the arrow on the "New". Select "Create Subdomain". Put www on the box. Then click "Ok" button. You would be back to the domain list. (I put www because I want the web to recognize www.berryblog.net as one of the URL of my blog.)



9. Now wait for your status of the domain and subdomain to become "Ready". (Refer back to #2)

10. When the status of the domain and subdomain becomes "Ready", you can now set-up your blogger/blogspot URL. Log-in to your blogger/blogspot account.

11. Click on "Settings" and then click on the "Publishing" tab. Switch to Custom Domain. Then click Advance Settings.

12. Put the your domain name on the box provided. Then supply the word verification and click "Ok" button. I put berryblog.net because it is the domain name I registered on 1&1.



Try all you URLs. All of them should work fine. If not, give it some little time it to refresh.

I will buy a domain for this blog as well if It became more famoust.
