Confusion Over Custom Domains Using Adsense For Domains Dns Servers
Saturday, February 22, 2020
Edit
I've been alert people for years nearly the lack of exceptional provided past times Google, inwards their instructions nearly setting upwards a custom domain, amongst the domain registration purchased straight from a registrar
The Google provided instructions were lately changed - unfortunately, non to satisfy every novel domain owner's bespeak for detail. Recently, we're seeing novel bear witness of confusion - which appears to maiden of all amongst Google instructions, again.
As I bring written repeatedly, when yous setup a someone domain, to purpose inwards publishing a Blogger blog, Google does non supply DNS hosting for your someone domain. Recently, I learned nearly the AdSense for Domains DNS servers.
This week, we're seeing reports inwards a Who.Is lookup of "mydomain.com" (in this example), nosotros see:
ns1.googleghs.com
ns2.googleghs.com
ns3.googleghs.com
ns4.googleghs.com
In this example, "mydomain.com" was, apparently, setup originally to purpose "ns1.googleghs.com" (x 4) for domain DNS addressing. Apparently, until this week, the addressing worked - as well as Google was willing to host DNS addressing for closed to someone domains.
Now, it doesn't.
Looking at the content of AdSense Help: Pointing your domains to Google's servers, nosotros run across the warning
Opening a Command Window inwards Windows, nosotros acquire confirmation
If your domain was using those servers to serve DNS addresses, you're going to bring to become dorsum to your registrar, as well as inquire them for their DNS servers. If this involves changing your "Name Registration" service to "DNS Hosting", you're going to bring to comport the cost.
