Matteo,

All of the registrars that I have checked indicate that a domain, once purchased, is not refundable.

It's $10 USD - you can't even buy a Greasy Mac meal for more than 2 people for that. Live a little, and buy the 2 domains.

Hey Bag,

If you had a domain that used to work, with email delivery, then you didn't just use "Advanced Settings" or "Buy a domain", did you?

If you've had the domain for a while, you probably have settings that need to work besides the "CNAME". How about you post in GBH - Something Is Broken and we will see what the problem is.

Interesting. I have found since I used the CNAME that I no longer recieve my EMails. Is there a record I should be clearing to allow those to end up where they should?

Thanks for the quick reply. It's the technical complexities and limitations that I should probably worry about :)

If I go with a custom domain I'll make sure they hand CNAME the way you suggest in your dns-host-is-crucial... post.

Thanks again!

Custom Domains are great, once you get past the technical complexities and limitations, that vary by DNS host.

Storage space shouldn't be an issue - there is no space limitation on blogs.

This wizard - "Buy A Domain For Your Blog" - needs work though. I need to write about that next.

What do you think the drawbacks are? I kinda like the idea but probably would want to eventually get storage space and other bells and whistles and wonder whether if that would complicate things down the road. Probably not and I haven't looked into it, but the domain name has briefly flitted across my thoughts from time to time...
