Here's the situation. I got a TLD for my blogger blog and set it up using the instructions from blogger. Blogger asks to:
Add two CNAME records. For the first CNAME, where it says Name, Label or Host enter "www" and where it says Destination, Target orPoints To enter "ghs.google.com" . For the second CNAME, enter "NHRILA4K2RJG" as the Name and
"gv-GQMUMYGHAMJWECXFLJXVXABIV23C55JIPNIAVD5IGFSXT653O5GA.domainverify.googlehosted.com."
I did that on my domain host, and everything was working smoothly.
Here's the things that happened:
- Typing myblog.blogspot.com in the address bar brought me to my new address www.mynewaddress.tld
- Typing my newaddress.tld brings me to www.mynewaddress.tld Now, I went through the instruction to setup CloudFlare and did everything as required.
I saw that CloudFlare is active and working on my TLD www.mynewaddress.tld, however, when I am typing the blogspot address, i.e. myblog.blogspot.com, it's showing a notice that the blog is not hosted on blogger and that I should click "yes" to get redirected to the new website. However, the blog is still on blogger.
I think the problem might be with this particular CNAME record Google asks to create, which I did not find imported to the CloudFlare nameservers:
For the second CNAME, enter "NHRILA4K2RJG" as the Name and
"gv-GQMUMYGHAMJWECXFLJXVXABIV23C55JIPNIAVD5IGFSXT653O5GA.domainverify.googlehosted.com."
So I create that CNAME and added it to the CloudFlare panel. My question is - is that what will help Google determine that my blog is still hosted on Blogger? If so, should I turn off CloudFlare for that particular CNAME record or turn it on?
Any help is very much appreciated :)
