Blogger Domain-How to
Setup Custom Domain on
Blogger Blogs
If you have read about importance of
custom domain for Blogger blogs , then you
must have understood that how much a
custom domain is necessary for Blogger
blogs. Now in this tutorial, I am going to
tell you how to use a custom domain with
your Blogger blog. Below steps will
describe how to setup your own domain on
a Blogger blog.
How Do I Setup My Own Domain
on Blogger
First of all, you need to register a domain
name for your blog. It usually costs around
10$-30$ a year. GoDaddy registers
domains on even cheaper price and you
can register a .com domain with them for
only 7$ per year. The second benefit of
registering your domain with GoDaddy is
that you don’t face any challenge in
mapping your domain to your Blogger blog.
GoDaddy provides an easy to configure
DNS setup tool through which you can point
your domain to your blog very easily. If you
go for any other domain registrar, still it
isn’t a tough task to map your domain to
your Blogger blog and it can be done very
easily from control panel of your domain
which is provided by your domain registrar.
If you are ready to replace your .blogspot
Blogger domain with your own domain, then
follow below simple instructions.
1. Buy a Custom Domain for
Your Blog Through Blogger
If you can pay through Google Checkout,
then it is extremely easy to buy and setup a
custom domain for your blog. To go with
this setup method, log-in to Blogger
dashboard, select your blog and then go to
Settings. In Basic section under Settings ,
you will find “+Add a custom domain Point
your own registered domain to your blog.”
as shown in the below screenshot:
Click on + Add a custom domain link there
and in next screen, type your desired
domain name in the box which you are
going to use for your Blogger blog and then
check availability of the domain name
either it is available to register or not.
If your selected domain is available and
hasn’t registered yet by anyone else, then
you can proceed with the registration. If the
domain name isn’t available, search for
any other domain name of your choice.
Once your desired domain name is
available to register, proceed with the
registration by clicking Continue to
registration button. In the next screen,
provide your contact details and other
information and proceed to Google
Checkout. Once you pay for your domain
name and its registration completes, you
will be guided through the rest of setup
procedure.
Using a Domain Registered With
a Third Party
Blogger doesn’t insist you to by domains
through it always. You can register your
domain with any domain registrar and can
use it for your Blogger blog. If you choose
to register your domain through a third
party domain registrar, then follow the
below steps:
Register Your Domain
Register your domain with your selected
registrar. You registrar will send you log-in
details for your domain control panel.After
the registration process completes, follow
below instructions:
Obtain CNAMERecords for Your Blog
You need to update CNAME values under
your domain DNS. To get these values for
your blog, sign-in to your Blogger
dashboard, select your blog and go to
settings. Under Basic section in Settings,
click on + Add a custom domain name and
then Switch to advanced settings
In the next screen, type in your domain
name in the box which you have registered
recently and click on Settings Instructions .
If the page asks to confirm that you are
navigating away, accept it by clicking
Leave Page
In next window, select On a top-level
domain (www.example.com). option from
the two. Now domain verification and other
details will appear below on the concerned
screen. I am sharing a screenshot but
remember that these values are unique for
each setup. So copy details from the
screen which are generated for your blog. I
have highlighted the values which are
needed to redirect your domain to your
Blogger blog.
Now you need to update your domain’s
DNS with these details. To do this, log-in
to your domain control panel using the
credentials provided by your domain
registrar. In domain control panel, select
DNS setting and add the two CNAME
records using the details which you have
obtained from Google in above step. Add
CNAME details as mentioned below:
1. Add the first CNAME record by typing
WWW in host field and ghs.google.com in
destination field
2. Add the second CNAME record by
pasting the shorter domain verification
value as host and the longer one as
destination. In my case, my CNAME
records will be added as below:
CNAME 1
host: www.supportivehands.net
destination: ghs.google.com
CNAME 2
host: SBYCL7V25JN.supportivehands.net
destination: gv-
B&JO3N6NEJ5NIEP55Z7GNCFJUTAHPY73ZRYRWF5CT23OXPTIPJIAS.domainverify.googlehosted.com
After adding the CNAME records, save your
settings and let your settings to propagate
across the web. It will usually take
between one day to 3 days before your
domain is pointed to Blogger. Keep
checking by typing your domain name in
browser after intervals that either it is
redirected or not. Once the settings are
propagated, your domain will start working
and you will see the 404 (Not found) error
at Google servers like below screenshot.
Now go to your Blogger dashboard again,
select your blog and go to its Settings .
Under Basic Settings, select + Add a
custom domain and then switch to
advanced settings
In the next screen, type in your domain
name in the box and save your settings.
You are all done!!
Once your domain starts working on your
blog, you need to to perform one more
simple task. It will redirect your naked
domain (yourdomain.com) to your full
domain (www.yourdomain.com). It can be
done by adding ANAMES also but this step
is easier and convenient than adding
ANAMES, so I haven’t discussed the
procedure of adding ARECORDS. To perform
this task, log-in to your Blogger dashboard,
select your blog and go to its settings. Now
you will see your domain under Basic
Settings. Edit it to direct naked domain to
full domain:
In the next screen, check the box saying
Redirect yourdomain.com to
www.yourdomain.com and save your
settings. Now you have performed all steps
for mapping your own domain to your
Blogger blog.
I haven’t shared screenshots for DNS
configuration in domain control panel
because each domain registrar provides
you a domain control panel with different
options.

your Blogger blog and need help, then you

setting up custom domain on your Blogger
