Use Your Own Custom Domain with BlogSpot (Video Included)

Do you have a blog on BlogSpot? Do you want to move on to a domain of your own but want the blog to be hosted on BlogSpot?

It is very easy to add your own domain on BlogSpot, just follow these instructions:

1)  Log on to BlogSpot

2)  Click on BlogSpot Settings for the domain that you want to change settings

3)  Click on Publishing

4)  Click on Custom Domain

5)  Then click on “Already own a domain? Switch to advanced settings”, if you already have bought the domain.

6)  Then type in the domain in the field: Your Domain

7)  Save settings and you are done.

You are done as far as letting BlogSpot know that you want to use a custom domain of your own. But how would you change the settings at your Domain registrar? It is pretty easy; you just have to follow the instructions on this Google page: http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=12451&answer=58317#godaddy

I recommend Godaddy because it is a very competitive domain registrar. Different people have different opinions about it. I have been registering domains with them for over 2 years now. I am one happy Godaddy customer.

All said and done, you should really try Self-hosted WordPress blog as well. The flexibility of self-hosted WordPress is much more than that of BlogSpot.
