Most of people starts blogging as a hobby and later or sooner they earn their valuable readers and they want to explore more and customize more with time , in this journey there is one major thing you would like to do that moving your blog or redirecting your existing blog to your domain . I highly recommend to purchase your domain as its like a digital property , you would really like to have one if you are serious about your online presence . Here is how you can redirect your existing blog to your own domain . This guide is for godaddy users , who purchased their domain from godaddy . I own most of my domains with godaddy and i highly recommend it them since their backend is simple and easy to use .
Hit settings , and click add a custom domain
Enter your domain name , make sure you enter it with 'www' , Click save , you will now get a red error message , dont worry its just some important information you would required to setup your blog .
Blogger would give you two option , choose on a top level domain .
Now come to your GODADDY control panel , Click domains , Hit settings .
Click DNS Manager file tab at the TOP , Click Edit .
Come back to your blogger where you would be showing this screen
Now Find CNAME (Alias)
you would find CNAME www
Delete that entry and quick add
you would find two columns to fill
1st column www
2nd ghs.google.com
save this setting
click Quick add again
1st column
whatever alphanumeric you get on left side
2nd column
whatever alphanumeric you get on right side
I underlined the portion which you would get and you need to copy paste .
here is my one of blog setting screenshot
once you done with these settings and again try Add custom domain . if it still give error , wait 24-48 hours as it may take this much to settle the DNS settings .
Happy Blogging
