Okay, well, I'll at least secure you a permanent position in the clan if you do purchase one. Oh, and if you wanted to advertise on our website or in our videos, that could be arranged to. A paid sponsor. :3

[Jenxas]

Seriously you don't have to offer me anything.
I'm a friendly guy who supports stuff.

[Sheath]

:o

So, what domain style can you afford (.org or else .net seem awesome, if possible) and when? :o

[Jenxas]

Well first of all, who do you want to host the server the website is on?

[Sheath]

Its being hosted on Blogger which is fine. I just need a nice domain thats gonna last for at least a year.

[Jenxas]

So basically you want a URL Forwarding?
Like when you go to asciievents.org or something it goes to the blogger?

[Sheath]

Not forwarding, because that would redirect www.asciievents.org to asciievents.blogspot.com. We'd be using CNAME...

Create a CNAME record for your blog's address, which should be a subdomain of the form www.example.com.
To create a CNAME record for your domain with the DNS, associating your domain with:


ghs.google.com.
The exact procedure for doing this varies depending on your domain registrar, but you can find instructions for many common registrars here. If yours isn't listed, or if you run into other difficulties, you can contact your registrar directly and they'll be able to help you out.
Create 'A' NAME records for your naked domain (blog.com)

Note: The following information applies to naked domains only!! If you're setting up a subdomain then this does NOT apply to you! :-)
Creating A records for your naked domain is important as it allows Google to redirect people who use in your naked domain name (blog.com) to your blog page (www.example.com). If you do not do this, visitors who leave off the www will see an error page.
There are four separate A records you will create, and can be done from the same control panel you accessed your CNAME records. Simply point your naked domain (example.com, without the 'www') to each of the following IP addresses:
216.239.32.21
216.239.34.21
216.239.36.21
216.239.38.21

Your DNS setup is now complete!
