Custom domain forwarding with Blogger

Now a days every one is having blog, and specially blog on Blogger.com and Google's owned blogging service which is famous in worldwide. Specially because of its easy of use, many more option to post blog and last but not least its free. Even its free some time we had a thought why not to run own site with top level domain, but without paying for file hosting or without loosing our previous posts on blogger's blog.

There is solution on this, its Blogger's Custom Domain Forwarding. Its feature from blogger to forward your blog on any top level domain like .com .net ect ect.. . To do this you need 2 things.

1) Your own domain name Purchase it from different registrars .
2) Blog on blogger

Steps: Goto your blogger's dashboard Settings -> Publishing. Locate custom domain options from that page.


Now type your domain name with "www" save and save these chages.


Login to your domain setting account.


Locate total DNS control option. If you have Name server setup remove them and relogin to get Total DNS option in godaddy.

Now edit www CNAME record and place host name as ghs.google.com which will locate any DNS query from DNS server to your blog.

Save these changes and wait for some time to update these settings. Normally it takes 10 minutes but may be some time 2-3 hours. Or one day.

I hope this is useful for you. You may refer this documentation from blogger.com
