Connect Blogger to your Ajaira subdomain
Point a Blogger blog at name.ajaira.site using two CNAME records.
What you need
- A Blogger blog you administer.
- An Ajaira subdomain, e.g.
myname.ajaira.site.
Step 1 — Start the custom domain flow in Blogger
In Blogger open Settings → Publishing → Custom domain and enter
www.myname.ajaira.site. Press Save. Blogger will refuse and
show you an error containing two CNAME records. That error is the point —
the second record is unique to your blog and nobody can give it to you in advance.
Step 2 — Add the two CNAME records
In your Ajaira DNS manager, add both:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | www | ghs.google.com |
| CNAME | (the code Blogger showed you) | (the gv-… value Blogger showed you) |
Nothing else to configure here — Blogger issues the certificate itself once the records resolve.
Step 3 — Save in Blogger again
Go back to Blogger and press Save. It should accept now. If it does not, wait for your TTL to pass and try again — Blogger reads DNS live and caches failures briefly.
Step 4 — Turn on HTTPS
In Blogger, enable HTTPS availability and HTTPS redirect. The certificate is issued by Google and can take up to an hour.
Common problems
- “We have not been able to verify your authority.” The second CNAME is missing or mistyped. It is case-sensitive.
- The bare name does not work. Blogger publishes on
www. Use the www hostname as your address.
