How to setup custom domain of Tumblr in DTC
is such a good service for personal microblog. The best of its feature is to let us use custom domain. For example, by default my Tumblr url is which is good enough. But now, I changed my url to better custom domain http://sugree.in.th/. And it looks mine! Anyway, it is not so easy to setup on DTC. If you are providing hosting services using DTC, you might need to follow my workaround to let your customers set custom domain successfully.
Note that below is just workaround. There are 2 cases for setting custom domain.
- The domain is the domain itself, e.g., sugree.in.th.
- The domain is a sub-domain, e.g., blog.sugree.in.th.
For the second case, you just need to add new sub-domain in DTC as usual. However, the first case seems to be more complex than I think. DTC binds the domain itself to the IP of your hosting server. Customers can't change that IP. So my workaround is to add Tumblr's IP to DTC as a new IP in multi IP configuration. After that you can set the Tumblr's IP as default for that domain.
