How to add custom domain to blogger?

Give your Blogger blog a personalized touch by adding a custom domain. Follow these steps to replace the default blogspot.com address with your custom domain.

Step 1: Get a Custom Domain

  • Purchase a custom domain from a domain registrar of your choice. For the best price and full control, consider getting your domain from Cyberison.

Step 2: Connect to Blogger

  • Go to the Blogger website and log in to your Blogger account.
  • Select the blog you want to connect to your custom domain from the Blogger dashboard.
  • In the left sidebar, click Settings, then select Custom Domain under the Publishing section.

Step 3: Add Your Custom Domain

  • In the Custom Domain field, enter your purchased domain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com), including www.
  • Click Save. An error may appear, indicating that you need to set up CNAME records.

Step 4: Change Nameservers

  • Log in to your domain registrar’s control panel.
  • Navigate to the nameserver settings.
  • Set the domain’s nameservers to the default nameservers provided by your domain registrar. For example:
    • ResellerCamp: ns1.liqu.id and ns2.liqu.id
    • PDR: pdrdns.mercury.orderbox-dns.com, pdrdns.venus.orderbox-dns.com, pdrdns.earth.orderbox-dns.com, and pdrdns.mars.orderbox-dns.com
  • Contact support to verify the main registry of your domain if needed.

  • Save the changes to update the nameservers.

Step 5: Update DNS Records

Add A Records

  • In the DNS Management section, add the following A records:
    • Hostname: @, Address: 216.239.32.21
    • Hostname: @, Address: 216.239.34.21
    • Hostname: @, Address: 216.239.36.21
    • Hostname: @, Address: 216.239.38.21

Add CNAME Records

  • Add the CNAME records noted from Blogger:
    • First CNAME: Hostname: www, Value: ghs.google.com
    • Second CNAME: Use the unique record provided by Blogger.

Step 6: Verify and Save

  • Wait for DNS changes to propagate. This process can take up to 48 hours.

Once propagation is complete:

  • Return to your Blogger dashboard.
  • Click Save for your custom domain.

If the changes are successful:

  • Your domain will be saved without any errors.

Step 7: Enable HTTPS

  • In your Blogger dashboard, go to Settings.
  • Under HTTPS availability, select Yes to enable HTTPS for your custom domain.

Note:

  • It may take a few hours or up to 48 hours for HTTPS to become available. Check back later to confirm when the status changes to Status: Available.

Your custom domain should now be successfully connected to your Blogger blog. Enjoy your new, personalized web address!
