Custom Domains Aren't For Everybody

OK, maybe you tried your custom domain, and decided it's not for you.

Go to Settings - Publishing, and select

Switch to: • blogspot.com


That's all that it takes, normally. Well, that and refreshing cache afterwards.

I tried to the same thing switch back to blogspot but the problem is they won't allow me to use the same name again. So I have to use a new name:( So how do you switch back and maintain the blog name????

Here's my situation my preferred blogname is happyfamilyfirst.blogspot.com. Then I tried to switch domain to www.sewabilik.com. Later I want to change back, it won't let me use the preferred blog name. So I have to use a new name.

Please advice.thanks.

It's possible that you don't understand the procedure, and it's possible that I don't understand what you're saying.

For this to work, you really need to post a problem report in Google Blogger Help: Publishing.

Troubleshooting a complex problem like yours, in a conversation in comments, is a really lame process.

If you want to reply to this comment when you do post to the forum, I'll know to look for your post.

Hi,

I had the same question. I deleted all host information and "ghs.google.com" information. The domain is cleared. But I still can't switch from blogspot.com to the custom domain again. I getthe same "already has a blog hosted on it" error message.

Did you try resetting the domain, using Google Apps?
