Blogger Custom Domain CNAME doesnt work anymore !

Posted on November 14, 2014

my blog is hosted by google in blogger.com they have option of have your own custom domain, by adding CNAME records to your DNS,

I added the CNAME record to my digital ocean long time ago and it used to work, but not it doesnt work anymore suddenlu. I re-added them to make sure and I waited 24 hours, no chance .

when I use http://mxtoolbox.com/ to see if the records been added I dont see any.

I can access the root of my domain name which is hosted digital ocean, but I can not access the blog subdomain which is hosted by google

here is how my zone file looks like in digital ocean DNS page:

$ORIGIN medyagh.com.
$TTL 1800
medyagh.com. IN SOA ns1.digitalocean.com. hostmaster.medyagh.com. 1415897277 10800 3600 604800 1800
medyagh.com. 1800 IN A 162.243.3.93
medyagh.com. 1800 IN NS ns1.digitalocean.com.
medyagh.com. 1800 IN NS ns2.digitalocean.com.
medyagh.com. 1800 IN NS ns3.digitalocean.com.
blog.medyagh.com. 1800 IN CNAME ghs.google.com.
v77jejufita5.medyagh.com. 1800 IN CNAME gv-g3nosu3ociuvet.dv.googlehosted.com.

Your blog works just fine. You probably had internet connection problems temporarily or something.
