How to Publish your Blogspot website using your own domain purchased at 1oasis.net

This exercise involve two setups:

1. Setup at 1oasis.net
2. Setup at blogger.com

1. Setup at 1oasis.net

First, you need to add an associated CNAME entry using (free) DNS service at 1oasis.net

• Log in to your account at http://cp.1oasis.net/customer
• Look for the domain name you wish to use (use listing or search feature), for instance "your-domain-name.com"
  
• Click on DNS tab and then Manage DNS button
  
• Click on CNAME Records button and then Add CNAME record button
• Enter the hostname you wish to use, for instance "www" OR "blog" (one-word) next to ".your-domain-name.com"
  
• Select the radio button next to " ( Type In A Fully Qualified Domain Name eg. abc.pqr.com) " and enter "ghs.google.com"

NOTE: If you want your website visitor who enter the URL http://your-domain-name.com to automatically be redirected to this www.your-domain-name.com OR the URL http://www.your-domain-name.com to be redirected blogspot-hostname.your-domain-name.com, you may also use the Domain Forwarding feature. But, if you're using www.your-domain-name.com URL for your blogspot, be sure to go back to DNS setup, and delete the redundant A record for www.your-domain-name.com.


2. Setup at blogger.com
(per instruction from http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/static.py?page=ts.cs&ts=1233381 )

Before you move onto this step, wait about an hour for your DNS settings to activate. If you attempt to change the publishing settings before the DNS changes activate, then we'll let you know with a warning message.

Now it’s time to make sure Blogger knows about your custom domain so that Google can direct readers to your blog. To get started, click on the Settings | Publishing tab in Blogger.

Then click the link that allows you to switch to a custom domain.

The BlogSpot Address setting now changes to Your Domain. Write in your new URL (www.example.com), and save your settings. If you do not enter the "www," you will receive an error message.

Congratulations, you’re all set!

NOTE: After selecting "Custom Domain", you may need to next select "Advance".

25 years of .com ANNIVERSARY 5-day only sale

Do you know that the 1st dotcom name was registered 25 years ago, and it wasn't 12 years later before domain name phenomenal goldrush began in 1997 hitting the 1-million count mark, and 20-million names 2 yrs later.

Today, there are about 200 million registered names, more than 40% of which are .coms (not including expired ones, which totals to nearly 400-million to-date!).

"In the last 25 years, .com has transformed nearly everything in our worlds from the way we shop, connect with our communities, make weekend plans, engage with our government, educate our children and even how we think! So commonplace is .com, that we now take much of these daily life changes and its profound impact for granted. Yet none of this would be possible without the great minds, innovators and risk takers that made .com what it is today."

{read more about .com history at http://www.25yearsof.com/25years }

To celebrate this mark, we're offering 5 days of RM25 ~ $7.49 .com names from Wednesday, 26 MAY 2010 until 12:30 UTC/20:30 MYT, Monday, 31 MAY 2010.

Read on on why you need a .com domain name...

A .com domain name gives your business an online advantage.

• Competitiveness - A .com domain name is one of the most popular across many geographies and industries.
• Reputation - Many of the biggest and best corporations around the world use and promote their Web sites with a .com extension.
• Creates a positive perception - A .com domain name suggests that you are serious about doing business and lends credibility.
• Establishes longevity - .com is one of the oldest extensions and suggests a well-established presence on the Internet.

Quite simply, a .com domain name offers you the best option because it provides instant recognition, visibility and credibility for your brand online, both in Malaysia and globally. A .com is appropriate for businesses of all sizes and it is the most widely used domain name extension around the world.

You can also use the domain name to create a customized and professional electronic mail address (yourname@yourcompany.com). Don't forget that 1oasis offers FREE email forwarding!

Do I need a .com domain if I already have another local domain?

The .com domain complements your local domain for a complete strategy on the Web, as it directs traffic to your web site and can be used to place the mark or name of your company on the Internet.

Whether you plan to establish relationships with local, regional or international companies, the .com domain can help with your visibility in all of these areas.

Welcoming 2010 with my new .ME!

date.me, love.me, hug.me... insure.me, fix.me, treat.me... aren't these just aweso.me?

But, without tens of thousands of dollars, you're a bit too late as over quarter of a million of these new .me domains have been snapped away in less than eighteen months since this this new top-level domain was opened to public registration.

But, there are many other names up to hundreds of thousands more out there for you to find and treasure. (note that there have been tens of millions registrations for the other TLDs like .com, .net, .info, .de, .uk, .cn etc.).

We have a special offer for you to welcome 2010... Read on until the end!

What can you do with ?

.Me is a true phenomenon among TLDs. With its unforgettable meaning and limitless word combination possibilities, .Me gives a truly personal tone to your domain name. If you are looking for a name that speaks for itself .Me is your best choice. Let .Me speak for your online business or personal blog.

.Me potential is enormous and it simply asks for you to be creative and coin the name that suits you best. If you have a great, original idea for a domain name, register .Me before it’s taken.

Why .ME

Introduction

Because .ME is about YOU! .ME has incredible potential for Internet users world-wide. Think about it. With a .ME domain, the Internet will, quite simply, be all about YOU. For the first time in Internet history, domain names are essentially personal.

.ME is expected to be utilized as both a personalized Web address and as a catchy business marketing tool around the world, initially in English followed by localized and standards compliant International Domain Names in, for example, Spanish, Italian, and Montenegrin.

.ME domains, with their universal appeal, are expected to be in high demand. So some “premium” names – including verb-oriented domains, such as “Contact.ME,” “Drive.ME” or “Fly.ME,” – will be held back for auction after Open Registration. We will have more information available on premium auctions in the months to come.

.ME is:

great for personalized domains, such as:
“John.me”, “Bob.me”, “Mary.me”. These could, for example, be used for your own blog or other personal website

fantastic for a call-to-action domain:
e.g. “lookat.me”, “WillYouDate.me”, “Insure.me”, “Shopfor.me”, “ChatWith.ME”, etc.

perfect for social networking:
e.g. “TheWorldof.ME”

.ME in the News

Everyone Wants A Piece Of Me

Catchy ccTLD Sells for Big Bucks and Makes Bold Branding Statements

PODGORICA, Montenegro – Oct. 21, 2009 – The .ME Registry is celebrating significant success in its most recent online auction. NameJet® auctioned off 15 premium .ME domains between Sept. 25 and Oct. 2. The results certainly suggest .ME is a popular and valuable commodity in the world of domain extensions. Among the biggest sellers, Friend.Me sold for $21,000 and Host.Me sold for $15,200.

The popularity and increasing value of the .ME extension is not surprising when you take a closer look at how people and businesses around the world are using this ccTLD to send a message on the Web.

WhyHire.Me is a Web site, launched in North America, to help students and graduates get noticed by potential employers. A college professor and two software professionals developed the site. Now, several universities are using the portal and curriculum to teach students about new media and online personal branding.

“As an educator and brand marketer, I seek out the clearest possible message,” says Patti Church, one of the co-founders of WhyHire.Me. "No one can dispute the value and clarity of what our brand name communicates or what dot-ME offers our students and subscribers who use it to build their own online brand."

If previous years have been about .YU and the others - .COM, .ORG, .INFO, .BIZ, .TV, .MOBI, .US etc., 2010 is about .ME, .ME, and ME!

The dot-ME top level domain replaced the dot-YU (Yugoslavia) domain previously used by Serbia and Montenegro. In addition to declaring .me independent of .yu, a new .rs domain is to be deployed for Serbian use. (Wikipedia, 2009)

1oasis is kickstarting 2010 with our 3-month promotion on .ME:

instant price drop of at least one-third (over 35%), or up to 50% compared to elsewhere, to just RM65 or US$18.99 for your full entry year.

Domain name theft made it on MaximumPC's Most Important Tech Event List at #99

New Jersey Resident First to Be Arrested for Domain Name Theft

On August 3, Daniel Goncalves, a 25-year-old computer technician, allegedly hacked an email account, stole login information, and falsified PayPal transaction records in an elaborate scheme to claim ownership of P2P.com, a domain valued at $160,000.

This arrest marks the first for domain theft, which has been difficult to prosecute because of the technical and legal complexities of the domain registrar system. Unfortunately for Goncalves, the owner of P2P.com was a former prosecutor for the Justice Department with a background in Internet payment processing.
