WordPress DNS

As mentioned last year, I move my personal identity to the “cloud” with help from Google Apps and WordPress.

This was really easy. WordPress were able to host my primary domain and then offered a single click so that all the MX settings for mail etc were preconfigured so I could use Google Apps. Very simple, very quick and to date, very reliable.

Of course for the last year, that’s all I have been able to do with my domain but now, those nice guys at WordPress have introduced FULL DNS control.

It’s all very simple being text based, so you need to know a little about DNS settings, CNAMEs and so on but the WordPress tool does validate settings before they go live just in case and there is still a button to automate the Google Apps setup.

So the WordPress platform is slowly becoming the centre of my cloud based world which considering most people view it as just a blogging service is rather surprising.
