Answers to Your Questions
Can the domaine name be the same as the Gandiblog's name ?
It is possible to make your Gandiblog reachable directly on your domain name, instead of a subdomain. There are many solutions to do so :The "easy" way :
This works only if you use Gandi's DNS. Click on the "Modify blog address" item of your blog control panel.
Then, suppress everything that is in the subdomain field. Make sure the field is empty and click on "Modify blog address". Your blog will then be reachable at domain.tld instead of blog.domain.tld.
If you prefer that your blog url starts with www, type "www" in the subdomain field and click on "Modify blog address".
The "funny" way :
This will not work if you don't use Gandi DNS.
Log into your Control Panel, then click on your domain, and choose "Manage DNS zone file".
Replace your A record by the following :
a. If your blog url starts with www. :
www 10800 IN CNAME blogs.vip.gandi.net.
b. If your blog url doesn't start with www. :
@ 10800 IN CNAME blogs.vip.gandi.net.
The keys are the @ and www. fields. The @ line with the IP adress will redirect the ones that type your domain name directly on your blog. The www will do the same, but only if you want the domain adress to start with www.
The "not Gandi's DNS" way :
If you don't use Gandi's DNS but you want your domain name to be your blog adress, you have to find out how to modify your DNS zone file in your web host control panel. You have to modify it this way (don't modify the fields that don't include an A or the ones that are referring to a subdomain) :
a. If your blog adress starts with www. :
www 10800 IN CNAME blogs.vip.gandi.net.
b. If your blog adress doesn't start with www. :
@ 10800 IN CNAME blogs.vip.gandi.net.
