Thank you for your instructions. They worked. I think it is also necessary to set CNAME and destination forwarding for the www sub-domain.

One more thing: on your directions, you say this under the forwarding part:

“Forwarding Destination = your domain name, so e.g. I put http://winholiday.co.uk”

But the example 1&1 gives is to use http://www. Could that be my problem? I have done it the way you suggested without the www, but their site says to use www.

Thanks for the help!

Hi – I was so glad to find your instructions, but I am not having success. I have followed your steps precisely and my blog is not redirecting, so I have to use the .blogspot.com instead of my custom domain, http://www.LLHdesignsblog.com

1&1 has told me that you cannot use a cname and forwarding together (that when you check that box you mentioned above you are acknowledging that you know you cannot forward).

Any other advice since you originally wrote this? WOuld you mind emailing me? I appreciate it!

well, he didn’t really solve the problem. his domain is forwarded to www, as you said at point 7. the issue is that any post is available using www, but the same post without www will point to the home page.
i’m still working on the issue.

[...] their control panel fine to use, if only a bit slow. It’s easy to forward domains and also switching blogger / blogspot blogs to the custom domain held by 1and1 was easy too. I have also bought a domain second hand from someone else and transferred it into [...]

Looks OK to me so I’m guessing you fixed it?. Maybe it was just a case of waiting for the new settings to propagate.

Hi , i have a domain from 1and, i have set up the sub domain with ‘www’ and also gave the CNAME as mentioned above, now i am not sure what should be done with the naked domain, main domain. I forwarded my main domain moulee.net to http://moulee.net. Should i change the DNS settings of the main domain? When i checked the blogger help page, it mentions to create 4 A record, whereas 1and1 control panel allows to create only one A record.
I am able to access my domain through http://www.moulee.net, but not when i type moulee.net.
Can you please let me know the exact setting that has to be done with the naked domain. Thank you

Blogger no longer allow ‘naked’ domain names like gamezplay.org my 1and1 domain still works as I redirect to www address. But all previous posts (10,000) have now lost their link – I can’t understand why.
