One of the features of custom domains, when purchased using "Buy a domain", was the Transition period.
Transition was Blogger, allowing that fifty-fifty alongside Blogger / Google controlling the domain authoritative servers (which they did, indirectly, past times using eNom / GoDaddy equally the registrars), as well as the initial DNS address setup (offered for GoDaddy purchased domains), the stability of custom domains solely starts alongside the domain authoritative servers, as well as the Root Name servers.
Custom domain published blogs, to hold out consistently stable, tin solely rely on the DNS addresses beingness available on the local DNS servers, on a worldwide basis, 48 to 72 hours subsequently the DNS addresses are added. This built inwards latency menstruation has nil to practise alongside how custom domains are designed - as well as it's an final result over which Blogger as well as Google accept no control.
Blogger provided the "Buy a domain" option, for custom domain purchases, 2008 - 2012, as well as then briefly 2012 - 2013.
The previous "Buy a Domain" ended, inwards 2013 - now, nosotros accept "Google Domains".
Having permanently unopen downwards "Buy a domain" inwards 2013, nosotros at nowadays run into the successor, Google Domains - which unopen to customers telephone phone "Buy a domain - 2". Google Domains offers domain registration as well as DNS hosting, equally a yearly package, alongside diverse pop features such equally anonymous registration - all Google inwards identify services, this time.
For all of the advantages of providing the domain purchase, registration, as well as setup, that merely gets the domain paid for, registered alongside the Root Servers, as well as setup alongside the correct DNS addresses. That does non larn the DNS addresses, that signal each domain to Google as well as to each Blogger blog, cached on the local DNS servers that nosotros all use, equally nosotros surf the Internet.
The worldwide DNS infrastructure is immense, compared to Google.
The DNS infrastructure is hundreds to thousands the size of the Google DNS infrastructure, Think of how many ISPs at that spot are, worldwide. Any internet service provider of whatsoever size is going to render its customers alongside DNS service - if solely to render addresses for its ain non DNS servers.
Google volition never dominate the worldwide DNS infrastructure. Even domains which they sell, register, as well as setup accept to hold out propagated worldwide, to every local DNS server - as well as at that spot is the latency, that they practise non control.
We yet involve a "Transition" period, to allow for every ISP, worldwide.
And the Blogger custom domain Transition menstruation is needed, to allow for that latency.
And anybody who remembers Transition nether "Buy a domain" should recollect the mysterious gadget update period, that did non plow over off until subsequently Transition was complete.
