How To Setup/Host Custom
Domain On Blogger
This is a guest post by Chris.
Blogger has already introduced custom domain
name. If you purchase a domain name through
Blogger, there’s no issue in setting it up because
Blogger automatically configures CNAME.
However if you purchased the domain name
separately, you have to manually configure it.
This post I’m going to show you how to host your
own domain name on Blogger.
Mainly you have to follow 4 major steps, they are:
1. Adding custom domain on Blogger
2. Getting your domain ownership verification
token
3. Change DNS (Domain Name System) settings
4. Verifying Domain name ownership on Blogger
If you don’t have a Blogger account first you have
to create it, if you have a Google account you
already have a Blogger account, so just log-in to
Blogger.
1. Go to http://www.blogger.com/ .
2. Now if you already have a blog, select which
blog should use the new custom domain
name.
3. Go to your selected blog's “Settings > Basic”.
4. Under the “Publishing”, click “Add custom
domain”.
5. Now in the “Advanced settings” type your new
domain name URL.
6. Click “Save” button. Then blogger display this
error “We have not been able to verify your
authority to this domain. Error 12. Please
follow the settings instructions.”
7. Click “settings instructions”. If you click this
link before that error (above), you can’t
configure CNAME correctly.
1. Now you will be redirected to the “How do I
use a custom domain name for my blog?”
page.
2. On this page, tick the “On a top-level domain
(www.example.com).” option.
3. Once you’ve chosen an option, setup
instructions appear. At the beginning of the
instructions you should see something similar
to the screenshot below.
Pay attention to a pair of two codes highlighted
in the screenshot. Those are your domain
ownership token. In my example the codes are
“J6VKJNRFUXD3" and “gv-
JWLTPCFOOA27RPMP3PPRPPW4
KZUGVEMMZK365WBH4UHOPYEFUBMA.
domainverify.googlehosted.com.”. Your token
will be different .
1. Go to your domain name registrar’s “DNS
console” panel and log-in.
2. Navigate to the “Host Records” click edit.
3. Add a CNAME.
For Host Name/Name/Label or
Host” field, enter “www”
without quotes and
For Address/Destination/
Target or Points To field, enter
“ghs.google.com” without the
quotes.
4. Now add another CNAME. This is for domain
ownership verification.
In the Host Name field, paste
the first code you get in step
2.3, ex: "J6VKJNRFUXD3".
In the Destination field, paste
the second code, ex: “gv-
JWLTPCFOOA27RPMP3
PPRPPW4KZUGVEMMZK365
WBH4UHOPYEFUBMA.
domainverify.googlehosted.
com.”.
(Use your own codes generated in step 2.3 ,
don’t use the two codes above).
5. Now we should add “A-records”. If you
already have “A-records”, modify them. If not,
click “Add” button.
6. You have to add 4 separate “A-records”,
pointing to the following Google IP addresses:
216.239.32.21
216.239.34.21
216.239.36.21
216.239.38.21
7. Enter each IP into an “Address” field. In the
corresponding “Host Name” field, enter your
domain’s naked URL (without “www”, e.g
example.com).
8. Finally click “Save” button and wait for a few
minutes to update all your domain settings.
1. Now go back to “Settings > Basic >
Publishing” on Blogger and again enter your
custom domain name with “www”.
2. Tick “redirect” option.
3. Finally click “Save” button. If it again displays
“Unable to verify authority…” error, wait for a
few hours to update your DNS settings and
again add your domain name. No need to
follow Host Records modifications. Just add
domain name to Blogger publishing section.
4. That’s it, now your blog has a custom domain
name.
