Hey Techzene,
Speaking of which, I bought my personalized domain immediately by teh blogger upgrade opportunity by blogger. The only selection is 1 year. What occurs at the end of the yr?

I type of wish I would have boguht the domain through godady and then linked it to my bllog adn I could haev acquired it for different many years. How do I know when to renew? Do I have a godaddy account for my blog site or does google the domain?

if you bought a domain via blogger, then you’ll have to renew it every year manually. However, blogger will book your domain through any third-party domain registrars like godaddy and so you can renew it for more than 1 year. Just logging into your google apps account where you’ll find your domain registrar login details. With those details login to your domain registrar and then renew your domain before it gets expired.

And for the second question, you’ll get a notification email if your domain is about to expire. So don’t worry about loosing it.

I’m actually writing this for a friend… She renewed her custom domain after it expired. She was able to renew but now when you go to the website, all you get is a 404 error. How can she get her site to come up (with everything that she had on it)? Thanks!

This is her site: http://www.autismwonderland.com/
