🔹 Step 1: Buy a Custom Domain
Buy a domain from a trusted provider such as:
Example: www.yourblogname.com

🔹 Step 2: Open Blogger and Go to Settings
- Sign in to your Blogger account at https://www.blogger.com.
- Go to "Settings" from the left sidebar.
- Scroll to the Publishing section.
- Click on "Custom domain".
- Enter your purchased domain with
www.(e.g.,www.yourblogname.com) and click "Save".
⚠️ Step 3: Copy CNAME Records
When you try to save, Blogger will show an error and give you two CNAME records like this:
Name: www→Destination: ghs.google.comName: xxxxxxxx→Destination: xxxxxxxxxx.dv.googlehosted.com
👉 You must copy these CNAMEs and enter them in your domain provider’s DNS settings.
🔹 Step 4: Go to Domain Provider’s DNS Settings
- Login to your domain provider account (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap).
- Go to DNS Settings or Manage DNS.
- Add the two CNAME records provided by Blogger.
Example:
| Type | Host/Name | Points To / Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | www | ghs.google.com |
| CNAME | xxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxx.dv.googlehosted.com |
🔹 Step 5: Add A Records (Optional but Recommended)
To ensure your site works without www (e.g., yourblogname.com), add the following A Records:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 216.239.32.21 |
| A | @ | 216.239.34.21 |
| A | @ | 216.239.36.21 |
| A | @ | 216.239.38.21 |
This helps redirect yourblogname.com to www.yourblogname.com.
🔹 Step 6: Wait and Verify
- DNS Propagation can take up to 24 hours, but usually works within 30–60 minutes.
- After DNS is set, go back to Blogger > Settings > Custom Domain and click “Save” again.
🔹 Step 7: Enable HTTPS (Secure Site)
Once your domain is successfully connected:
- In Blogger Settings, turn on:
- HTTPS Availability
- HTTPS Redirect
2. Wait a few minutes for SSL to activate.
✅ Your site will now show https://www.yourblogname.com with a lock symbol.
