Saturday, October 5, 2019
Edit
One of the features of custom domains, when purchased using "Buy a domain", was the Transition period.
Transition was Blogger, allowing that fifty-fifty amongst Blogger / Google controlling the domain authoritative servers (which they did, indirectly, past times using eNom / GoDaddy every bit the registrars), as well as the initial DNS address setup (offered for GoDaddy purchased domains), the stability of custom domains entirely starts amongst the domain authoritative servers, as well as the Root Name servers.
Custom domain published blogs, to hold upwards consistently stable, tin entirely rely on the DNS addresses beingness available on the local DNS servers, on a worldwide basis, 48 to 72 hours later the DNS addresses are added. This built inwards latency menstruation has nix to produce amongst how custom domains are designed - as well as it's an consequence over which Blogger as well as Google convey no control.
Blogger provided the "Buy a domain" option, for custom domain purchases, 2008 - 2012, as well as thus briefly 2012 - 2013.
The previous "Buy a Domain" ended, inwards 2013 - now, nosotros convey "Google Domains".
Having permanently near downward "Buy a domain" inwards 2013, nosotros at nowadays run across the successor, Google Domains - which to a greater extent than or less customers telephone band "Buy a domain - 2". Google Domains offers domain registration as well as DNS hosting, every bit a yearly package, amongst diverse pop features such every bit anonymous registration - all Google inwards family services, this time.
For all of the advantages of providing the domain purchase, registration, as well as setup, that only gets the domain paid for, registered amongst the Root Servers, as well as setup amongst the correct DNS addresses. That does non larn the DNS addresses, that request each domain to Google as well as to each Blogger blog, cached on the local DNS servers that nosotros all use, every bit nosotros surf the Internet.
The worldwide DNS infrastructure is immense, compared to Google.
The DNS infrastructure is hundreds to thousands the size of the Google DNS infrastructure, Think of how many ISPs at that topographic point are, worldwide. Any Internet access provider of whatever size is going to supply its customers amongst DNS service - if entirely to supply addresses for its ain non DNS servers.
Google volition never dominate the worldwide DNS infrastructure. Even domains which they sell, register, as well as setup convey to hold upwards propagated worldwide, to every local DNS server - as well as at that topographic point is the latency, that they produce non control.
We withal demand a "Transition" period, to allow for every ISP, worldwide.
And the Blogger custom domain Transition menstruation is needed, to allow for that latency.
And anybody who remembers Transition nether "Buy a domain" should recall the mysterious gadget update period, that did non give until later Transition was complete.
If y'all register a domain, using Google Domains - as well as thus role the Blogger sorcerer "Setup a Google Domains URL for your blog" to position out your weblog to your novel domain, y'all should larn a dashboard reminder
While that reminder is visible, your domain is beingness propagated, to the worldwide DNS infrastructure.
While y'all run across the reminder - or fifty-fifty if y'all don't run across the reminder - pass your fourth dimension reading, as well as preparing for the migration process - that starts later Transition ends. You desire your domain to function properly? Be patient.
