How To Setup A Domain On Blogger From GoDaddy.com

You are owner of a blog or website then you need to shorten your website's address.I prefer you to do this practice on GoDaddy.com.

Here is the guide to setup a custom domain with Godaddy.com.

First Go to GoDaddy.com.You are here to buy your domain name.



When you buy domain from Godaddy.com you should keep the following things in mind

1:Domain names on Godaddy.com are not free of cost.

2:You will see packages for domain name from $10 to up on Godaddy.com.

3:Do not buy the hosting.

4:Do not buy the web builder Packages.Because you are on Blogger.com or Wordpress.com.On these forums you have free hosting and on Godaddy.com you are going to pay for your hostingg.(For new users.Everyone can create a free website on Blogger.com and wordpress with you Google id.).


Once you have bought your desired domain name then go to Godaddy.com then log in to your account and go to domain section as shown in the figure below:

Now click on the Domain Details to know the information of your present domain.

Go to the "DNS Zone File" Section and click on "Add Record"

Fill in the details for the CNAME record as shown in the image and click "Add Another"

The details to use are :
Record Type : CNAME
Host : www
Points to : ghs.google.com
TTL : 1 hour

Now we have to create 4 more records in a similar fashion. The details to fill up while creating the records are as below 

Sl #	Record Type	Host	Points to	TTL
1	A	@	216.239.32.21	1 Hour
2	A	@	216.239.34.21	1 Hour
3	A	@	216.239.36.21	1 Hour
4	A	@	216.239.38.21	1 Hour

Once done, you should see only 4 records under the A Host section and those should be:

1. Any other A record shown under the A Host section should be deleted using the Delete icon under Actions(This step is very important)
2. Now click on "Save Changes 
   
   You are now Done with GoDaddy settings. You now have to configure your Blogger blog to publish to this new domain.

   Publishing a Blogspot domain to a custom domain

   Now we will configure the Blogger blog to publish itself to the new Custom Domain name.
   Login to your Blogger Dashboard and Navigate to Settings > Basic and click on the Setup a 3rd party URL for your blog link 
   
   
   
   
   
   Provide your Custom Domain URL and click the Save Button 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   When you click save, you might get an error like the one shown below
   
   This means that Blogger wants us to create another CNAME record on GoDaddy to verify that you are the owner of the domain. The values for Host and Points To should match what’s shown on the Blogger error. An example based on the above error is shown below.
   
   
   
   Click Finish and Save Changes once again. Now go back to Blogger and click on the "Save" button once again. This time the verification error should go away.
   
   Now select the redirection Option and save the settings Once again
   
   Now your blog should be visible at your new domain.
   he DNS changes which we had made(the A and CNAME records) might take some time to propagate. So give it 24 hrs in case you aren't able to see the changes immediately.
   
   
   Note : The screenshots are based on the GoDaddy and Blogger interfaces at the time of writing this post. In case you find any differences, do let us know so that we can update the post and help others.
