How To Setup Custom Domain on Your Blogger

 

1. Assuming you have your own hosting plan with Hostgator or another web host, contact your web hosting company about registering a domain. Tell them that you want to register a new domain name such as YourDomain.com.  Once the domain is registered ask them to create a CNAME record for your domain with the DNS directing to: ghs.google.com.  Please note that it may take a few hours to a day for your DNS settings to update correctly.
2. Now we need to update your Blogger Settings at Blogger.com.  Go to Settings and then click on the Publishing tab. 
   1. If you are publishing on Blogspot, you will see a link near the top offering to switch you to a custom domain. Go ahead and click on "custom domain".
      
   2. Now click "Switch to Advanced Settings".
      
      
   3. Fill in the name of your domain. I typed in YourDomain.com as an example.  Once you've done this enter the word verification at the bottom of the page and click "Save Settings".
      
   4. That's it! Your files should now be hosted at your new domain if your DNS settings have been updated yet.
