How To Setup Custom Domain In Blogger

Ok, you’re excited because you just recently acquired your custom domain name to be used for your blog. You followed the steps according to the directions and it’s really quite easy. Then you waited for it to take effect and you typed your site’s URL in your browser: www.infohiway.net and there! It majestically appeared your blog site on the page. Then you tried it again, but this time without the “www” and when you entered it you got redirected to an error page.

Don’t panic.

Here’s what you can do to make sure that visitors who leave off the “www” when entering your URL will not see an error page. Please bear in mind that this guide is for custom domains acquired through GoDaddy to be used on your Blogger account.

1. Login to your GoDaddy account.
2. Click on Domains then click Domain Name Management.
   
3. Click on DNS Manager.
   
4. Then under the domain name you’d like to use, click Edit Zone.
   
5. Under A (Host) add the following entries: (Applies to all Blogger accounts)
   
6. Under CNAME (Alias) add the entry below:
   
7. Save your changes. It may take an hour for the settings to take effect.
8. Login to your Blogger account.
9. Go to Settings and under Publishing click on Edit.
   
10. Type your custom domain like this: www.mydomain.com and check the Redirect box. Don’t forget to Save the changes.
    

That’s how to setup custom domain name from GoDaddy to your Blogger account.
