Setting Up Blogger For Custom Domains On GoDaddy

My Top 3

The following guide will show you how to get Blogger working properly with GoDaddy hosted domain. Both “yourdomainname.com” “.yourdomainname.com” will point properly to your Blogger hosted blog.

Have a Blogger hosted blog. E.g. “yourblogname.blogspot.com”

Have GoDaddy parked domain. E.g. “yourdomainname.com”

Turn domain forwarding on GoDaddy’s settings and forward it to your blog on Blogger. E.g. />

Forwarding may not be active for an hour or two. If eight hours goes by and your domain is not properly forwarding, file a ticket GoDaddy support and they will get it working.

Set up a CNAME referral for GoDaddy’s total control to ghs.google.com

Setup custom domain on Blogger by going to Settings->Publishing and entering your .domainname.com address.

If all is setup correctly, www.yourdomainname.com is now hosting your blog. Yourdomainname.com bounces to yourblogname.blogspot.com which bounces back to www.yourdomain.com. All of this is completely transparent to your users and whether they remebmer www or not no longer matters.
