Domains and Domain Companies’ Services along with its uses
My problem in having a classic template is that, every time I will make changes, be it one number, one letter or anything, I need to republish it. For now, it will just take few seconds for me to do it because I have small file yet. And in order for me to see my changes, I need to open another browser for I can’t view it on the current browser that I used in editing. I don’t know why! Maybe this is the consequence of using a domain outside Google’s affiliate.
Anyway, it’s a challenge though! Making lots of changes, republishing and opening another browser, it’s fun, compared to buying a domain, redirecting it to my blog, and nothing happened for the system of that particular site is different. Their blog can’t redirect to a domain. The domain that’s being bought under them is just good for making a website. I was having a hard time figuring out what to do because their customer service is not that active. It will take days before they can give me some reply. But before I discovered that domain and blog can’t be redirected I had these problems: I end up using two urls in one site for I tried to redirect my domain to my blog. I read further that in order for me to have a complete redirection I need to upgrade and pay $39, then I will enjoy a blog that’s free of any advertisement. So I did upgraded by paying that amount. Now, under upgrade it says, upgrade will not take effect if I’ll not put a name. When I will encode my domain, it won’t take. It will just state that my domain is not available since it’s bought already. And who bought it? It’s just me. So no choice, I just redirect it to another name – it’s a free name with different extension and then put my domain on the blank. But right now, I guess I’m using three urls in one site. My original url, my domain and the redirect name. Huh! They have a very great support. I’m confused with everything there.
With the other site, it’s very easy. I just asked the moderator to transfer my other domain to my newly created blog and she did without asking additional fee for service or for redirection. And the answer is just minutes (thanks Hanni). They have a very great support. No wonder lots of people transferred with them.
With blogger, of course, it’s very nice. Buy a domain for 10 bucks and the transition is just 3 days. After 3 days, when my old url will be encoded on the browser it will automatically open on my new domain. Thanks to Blogger/Google.
