"Blogs may not be hosted at naked domains" Blogger Error
I got the "Blogs may not be hosted at naked domains" error while setting up my domain on Blogger. I am trying to put berryblog.net as my domain name on the Settings | Publishing | Advance Settings set-up. Blogger said that "Blog host names must have a subdomain. For example, try: www.berryblog.net"
I got my berryblog.net domain on 1and1 by the way.
My blog is originally hosted free here in Blogger. Then I transferred to 000Webhost as a WordPress blog, again for free. Then after realizing that 000Webhost is a crap, I decided to return to the beloved Blogger. I'm not sure if this has caused the problem.
Since Blogger doesn't want to accept berryblog.net, so ended up putting www.berryblog.net instead. But on my 1and1 domain set-up, it's berryblog.net. So I'm getting an error when my blog loads on the browser.
So what I did is to change a little on the set-up I did on http://www.berryblog.net/2008/10/setting-up-1-domain-for-bloggerblogspot.html
If you encounter the same error I am getting, and your domain is from 1and1, you might want to try what I did.
I hope this technique would help everyone having this error. No more of that recycling the domain, or contacting Google/Blogger :)
Cheers!

- Go to my blog post where explain how I set-up my domain to my Blogger account.
- If you already had your domain set-up, no need to delete the domain on 1and1. Just edit the settings for the next steps on this post.
- On Step 7 on the post I made, instead of naked domain http://berryblog.net or whatever your domain is, put the whole domain you are intending to use. Example, mine is http://www.berryblog.net
- Then after Step 8, set-up the DNS for the subdomain (www, or whatever you are intending to use) you have created. Just follow steps 4 and 5, but instead of selecting the domain (berryblog.net), select the one with subdomain (www.berryblog.net).
- Then on your Blogger account, go to Settings | Publishing | Advance Settings. Put your domain with the subdomain like www.berryblog.net on the Domain box, and check the Redirect berryblog.net to www.berryblog.net check box.
- Jut wait and everything should be fine :)
I hope this technique would help everyone having this error. No more of that recycling the domain, or contacting Google/Blogger :)
