I remember when I purchased my domain names from GoDaddy, I got help from a friend/blogger in updating the name servers so that my naked domain (domain without "www") will still be redirect to my non-naked domain (domain with "www").
This morning, when I typed in the naked domain of Fashion and Beauty Craze, I was redirected to GoDaddy temporary page. I don't know what happened or if there was some update I wasn't aware of but one thing I'm sure, my settings in Blogger already shows a check on the option "Redirect fashionandbeautycraze.info to www.fashionandbeautycraze.info". So I did what I'm good at: trial and error and a lot of prayers that I will still be able to access my website after this experiment. I checked on Blogger Help and found out that some bloggers/website owners experienced the same thing. Unfortunately, the solutions given and technical terms used are just too complicated for me. Good thing, GoDaddy is a user friendly site. So this is what I did:

2. Then under the list of my domain names, I looked for fashionandbeautycraze.info and clicked on "Advanced Details".
3. On that details page, under Domain Information, I saw "Forwarding: Off" so I clicked on "Manage". A small window came up showing this:

thanks for the info sis. i didn't know you can configure the redirect via the domain registrar (or are you also hosting the blog in GoDaddy?). i do it kasi via the htaccess file. ma-try nga sa namecheap. :)
ReplyDeletenope. Hindi sya nakahost sa GoDaddy sis... Actually tinry ko lang din kanina if it would work and it did :)
ReplyDeleteso sis, mas okay kaya kung direct sa Google na ako bili ng domain? ang shunga ko kasi sa mga technical terms, gusto ko yun instant okay na:)
ReplyDelete^sis, if it's for the same price, then I'd suggest Google na lang. But if you can get a domain for less than $2, for me, pagtitiisan ko ayusin yung domain. It's not that difficult naman sis. And it only affects the naked domain.
