I have a domain registered sitename.com and I have a friend who offered me some free space at his host... (but he hasn't given me subdomain, database etc,,, just two emails) Now I want to host my blogs at blog*spot for free with blog.sitename.com and say my forum at freeforums.org as forums.sitename.com note that I already have hosted my main site. I followed the procedure given in blogger.com help page. and added CNAME record as blog.sitename.com for ghs.google.com but it still have not started functioning ... ideally it should redirect to blogger or google site... Am I missing something here? Let me know if the info provided is inadequate.... Thanks in advance!
One more thing to add, the domain registrar asked to change the nameservers to its original value that is to their sites so that they could activate "Managed DNS services" for modifying CNAME records etc... I have changed nameservers to its original value (so my site should stop working, but it's still showing the content of my hoster...)
Well ... I would suggest you to host your site somewhere else or ask your friend to add those features for you. There are many sites which offer you free hosting and they are very good. PM me if you need a link to free hosting site which I'm aware of. I hope it helps
