Hello guys,
So today I'm going to show you how to add a custom domain name to blogger blogs. this tutorial will be from Creating the blog, to adding the domain and using it. =)
First of all, you have to make the blog in blogger.com, call it anything you want because we will change the name with a custom domain after that.
It will look like the picture above. Remember the "Title" should be something unique because it will not change with the domain name. choose it carefully, and don't worry you can change it at anytime from blogger's dashboard.
After making the blog, go to you Domain name provider, (I Will use Dot.Tk for this tutorial - It's free) and apply those settings to your DNS records:
Type HostName IP Address
A Record - YourDomain.Com - 216.239.32.21
A Record - YourDomain.Com - 216.239.34.21
A Record - YourDomain.Com - 216.239.36.21
A Record - YourDomain.Com - 216.239.38.21
CNAME - www.YourDomain.Com - ghs.google.com
It will look like this:
NOTE:- Those setting will be exactly the same in any other register. even .com and .net domains.
After applying those settings, go to your blogger account again, open up your blog's dashboard, and follow those steps:
1- Click on settings from the list on your lift hand side in blogger:
3-Then Click on "Switch to advanced settings" :

Blogger might ask you to verify you ownership of the domain, just follow their steps and you will be good to go =)
Enjoy your blogger with the new domain name =)
