Ok i got a blogger blog and they said i can use my own domain name with the blog that they still host. google says to add their ghs.google.com to the "www" cname setting in Godaddy. I did this. So my domain Now works when i type www.MYDOMAIN.com

But if I type my domain name without the WWW it doesn't work. It just shows a godaddy page saying "coming soon".

I read that I have to add another Cname Alias,so I did. For the HOST I wrote my domain name without the WWW and for the "points to" i wrote ghs.google.com

So will doing what i did make my domain name work WITHOUT the www in front of the domain name?

I believe under the C names you need to include @ - If I remember correctly. If this is setup properly, your zone files may simply need to be refreshed. (Godaddy can do this)

I have This under "A host"

host>:( Points to: 68.178.232.100 TTL:1 Hour

And under "CNAMES (Aliases)" i have:

Host:www Points to:ghs.google.com


With this setting i can only go to my url WITH the www. when i browse to my domain name WITHOUT the www it doesn't work.

I believe you need to point your CNAME to @.

But my domain name needs to be linked to my blogger blog.what do you mean point my cname to @? you want me to change ghs.google.com to @ ? Then how would it be linked to my blogger blog?
