Custom Domain for Blogger

Its always better to have Custom Domain for Blogger because in case if blogger ban your blog then you can continue in another platform if you have custom domain.

How to setup custom domain..

Step 1 – Buy domain name
The first thing to do is to buy your domain name registrar like domainsearchindia.com

I recommend this I personally use this and this is the best and cheap domain provider for Idians

Step 2 -

If you are migrating from wordpress follow from here :

1. Find the control panel on your domain registrar’s website, and locate your DNS (Domain Name System) settings. In order to link your blog to your custom domain, follow the instructions below to enter your "CNAME" and "A-records."

   CNAME
   Where it says Name, simply enter "www" and list ghs.google.com as the Host Name. See our detailed instructions on providing CNAMEs for various registrars. If yours isn't listed, or if you run into other difficulties, contact your registrar directly and they can help you out.

   A-records (optional)
   The following action links your naked domain (example.com) to your actual site (www.example.com). If you skip this step, visitors who leave off the "www" will see an error page.

   Enter your domain name in the format example.com, and list the I.P. addresses shown below in the "A" section. You'll need to create four separate A-records which point to four different Google IPs.

   216.239.32.21
   216.239.34.21
   216.239.36.21
   216.239.38.21
   

2. Update your Blogger settings

   Now it’s time to make sure Blogger knows about your custom domain so that Google can direct readers to your blog. Just head back to Blogger and update the information on your Settings | Basic tab. Find the area for "Publishing," and click the link to add a custom domain.

   Then, click on "Switch to advanced settings." Enter in the URL for your custom domain in the text box provided, and click Save. That’s it! Your blogspot.com address will soon redirect to your new custom domain -- be patient, as it might take up to 24 hours for the redirect to start working.

   Congratulations, you’re all set!

Some helpful notes:

• If your new domain isn't taking you to your blog, wait another day or two to make sure all the DNS servers have been updated. If it still isn't working, contact your registrar to make sure you entered the DNS settings correctly.
• Your original Blogspot address will automatically forward to your new domain. That way, any existing links or bookmarks to your site will still work.
