Free Blog on Your Own Domain with Free Email Hosting Part 1

May 13, 2007 – 10:23 am

Finally I buy paid hosting for my rasyid.net domain and I got free .info domain for 1 year.

Now I’m waiting for transfer domain process and I just think about using my domain rasyid.info for blogging too icon wink Free Blog on Your Own Domain with Free Email Hosting Part 1

I’ll start this blog (rasyid.info) from scratch and host it in blogspot.

At the end of this process I get :

1. Blogspot blog with my own domain ( http://www.rasyid.info)

2. My own email xxx@rasyid.info, will be host by google using google apps ( free version)

I consider it as ‘from zero to one’ process, so I’ll make it as series, might be usefull for anyone who want to start blogging with his/her own domain.

3. Testing phase, stop writing start blogging icon smile Free Blog on Your Own Domain with Free Email Hosting Part 1

Ok, let start from part 1 ( Setting dns at domain registrar and register for account in mydomain.com).

I prefer to use mydomain.com .

Mydomain provide powerfull dns management for free not only for top level domain but also for other country domain like .id (Indonesia).

To use mydomain I must change dns entry to point to mydomain dns server :

 

ns1.mydomain.com

ns2.mydomain.com

ns3.mydomain.com

ns4.mydomain.com

Input this data to my domain control panel :
